That's just not right, Ron. My V6 auto Acclaim pulls 25 running 75 on
the highway in the winter - closer to 30 in the summer. A smaller,
lighter car like the Neon should be much better. This is with over
100K on the clock. I assume you've checked all the usual suspects
(plugs, tire pressure, etc.)?
