32mpg is completely believable for an automatic.

ive gotten 38+ on multiple occasions. while on the highway. granted i have a manual but still.

It could have the 2.2 stroker... but I would trust it unless you personally know the owner and know for sure that he did stroke it.

I miss my 1st gen... i think I once got 52mpg!

I've even hit as high as 38 on both of my cars.. the White gets a tad less but last I tracked it on a long trip both got about 38-39. I was a little surprised on that with the white car but if I'm in boost a lot that mileage drops like none other down to the low 20s lol

I don't think an SUV will fix that...

how wont it fix that?

our Grand Cherokee has a lot more room in the back seat than my neon. the rides not bad either.

i wouldn't be comfortable riding passenger with somebody who opens the hood and thinks they have a 2.2 in ther stock neon

Adionik · Post by **Adionik** » Thu Oct 25, 2007 5:58 pm

I have an 02 with the older 4spd transmissions....our gas consumption and gear management isn't supposed to be as good as the 03+

The highest i've ever got was 28mpg, with about half a can of seafoam.

Then my MPG dropped back to it's normal, shitty self. I do 95% city driving. *Shrug*

My 98 gets 40 ish on trips and my blue one will max at like 34 (normally it's at 25)

boost does kill gas milage

Post by **racer12306** » Fri Oct 26, 2007 9:31 am

city driving pwns gas mileage

I think what he was saying is that the guy is creepy, so getting an SUV does not fix the fact that he is creepy, which is why his kids are not comfortable... ya follow?

Where are you located? I have a friend who has a dealership in Miluakee (sp?). He has a website and sells lots of nice cars. He buys and sells cars from the auctions all the time. At least a few times a week. If you got cash, I am sure you can get a GREAT car for very cheap.

Tell him you are a friend of eXistenZneon from ClubSi and I am sure he will hook you up.

PM me for more info.

i'm on the other side of the state. but if the deal is good, it might be worth it
