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.
