You may be one of the first of many to stop drving Neons, as they wear-out. Hopefully Neons will be fondly remembered (like the old Dodge Colts from the 70's) for a long time.

Neons have been out of production for six model years. My next daily driver will probably be a Ford Focus, or possibly the new Fiesta. Can't explain why I like them better than Civics,
Corollas, or whatever else is a popular small car.

Who told you, you needed to break it in? :/ I went WOT within 20 miles after S3 install. Doesn't hurt anything. Its like the debate of breaking in a new performance car with 0 miles. Some do it, some don't.

based on the Neon's 12.5 gallon tank = 15 mpg?

Neon never takes 12.5 gallons to fill up. Only like 8.1 for me.

I got 217 miles out of 8.1 gallons. Thats city and highway driving. Not bad for a car pushing out as much power as I am.

So LSP, Go WOT yet!?

I recommend slamming on it at 3k rpm in 3rd.

Have you ever run the car out of gas? 12.5 seems about right...

I've run it low but not actually out of gas.

No, but I have run it down to where the alarm sounds, and put about 10 gallons in

How many gallons each fill-up? ... If 8+-, then you're averaging 40 mpg

Forced Performance recommended a break-in as well as the Mopar Stage 3 instructions.

So I followed them. AGP recommends it on their turbos as well.

Maybe he meant 220+?

Driving 55-60, there's no reason an NSRT4 can't do more than 320 miles on a tank. Of course, I could never do that. Boost is too much fun.

I hate it when people ask that. It's fun, it's a hobby, and how many other things in life can give you the adrenaline rush that a quick car can and will. It's a whole other reaction when I mention road racing or autocross. It's usually followed by them giving me a look like a dog who just heard a strange sound.

I get that same look when I say I don't track it I show it. *shrugs* Everyone always expects that because you have a certain make/model that you will go with the crowd and do exactly what others with the same make/model do with their cars...they get really confused when that's not the case

That's why "car guys/girls" stick together. I don't expect the general public to ever improve.

no, i ment 320+ a tank lol. i have a 120 mile round trip commute to work and the SRT is my daily. I try to stay around 55-59mph. Last time i filled 10.5ish gallons and had 312miles on the odometer.

I'm right there with you lane, if anything they'll worsen with time rather than improve.
