Not the dealer?

Get a quote from someplace online that sells them close to cost (MPSC) and take that to the dealer. They should match it. O2 sensors are wicked expensive though, probably cause they're important.

do not measure fuel economy by miles per tank. the gas gauge is far from accurate the only true way to measure fuel economy is to fill up the tank then drive it for a while, when you fill it up again use the following formula (you have to fill it up for it to be accurate)

MPG = MILES DRIVEN/GALLONS PUT IN TANK

you figured it out as 200miles/12gallons = 16. you dont put 12 gallons of gas in the car unless you run around for a very long time on E. check it the correct way and see what it is and then start worrying if need be. post back with driving conditions and everything if you think you have a problem.

ok so i usally put in around 9 or 10 gallons and usally get around 200-210 miles so that means like 20-22 mpgis that anything to worry about

22mpg is a little low but what are your driving conditions, 22 mpg might be normal for your driving.

I get about 220 per tank, fill up about 10 gals. too

I did drive to the beach tho, about 150 miles round trip all day(went to friends house and stuff) on a half tank(lets say 5 gallons). 30 mpg, is that good for highway?

30 mpg is good for an atx neon on the highway. but you still have a very very rough estimate, fill up and get a definite mpg.
