i do about 70/30 highway/city. i get about 20-22. maybe 24-25 when i hardly accelerate or slam on the brakes. im barely using the heat too. i just got some royal purple put in. its time to check the tire inflation (thanx for the reminder)

I've done stats on my 3400 and I average about 25.4mpg each month driving my car like a granny. I lost about a 100 miles this tank of gas by stepping on it numerous times :(

no not true...............stock my 2.4 got the same gas mileage but with beeter intake and exhaust it got better and it just improved with the performnce stuff. i think the cams and head might have dropped it a little but not much.

I averaged 28-30 on the highway but I don't do alot of in town driving and I just got my MSD Wires/coil pack put on new plugs and changed the oil so that prob. helped a little.

My 2.4 gets various mpg but is usually about 26 mpg average and I do not drive it like an old man ... lol. When I first got it, it was getting about 23 mpg average. Only changes have been the air filter, spark plugs, several bottles of injector cleaner (which didn't do much), and 2 bottles of Marvel Mystery Oil in the gas (this seemed to help the most) each about 4 tanks of gas apart. I had at least one injector that was not working correctly.
