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.

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.
