1998 Dodge Neon DOHC 5 speed.

Drove from Calgary to Rocky Mountain House and back and drove the rest of the work week on the same tank. I ended up driving 650 km on 30 L. I still have the receipt from when I filled back up and logged my kilometers. With the original engine I used to average 35 MPG in the city and 40-45 on the highway. With the new engine I average 28 MPG in the city and 35 on the highway.

Better check your metric to imperial conversion http://www.onlineconversion.com/fuel_consumption.htm

I have no idea how that got posted by cfish since my laptop sits at home all the time and nobody else uses it and I don't have any room mates or anything like that or any friends that were over today (cfish's join date). I am also on a WPA/encrypted lan.

Umm ok, 8.7L/100km, or 32.469 mpg (UK gallons)

I didn't think round up .031 mpg would be a big deal

[Ekliptix]

my bad, I misread the UK gallons originally. I'm use to imperial mpg.

It makes me feel better to use Canadian/UK gallons

(27mpg doesn't sound as good as 32.5)
