Is that all highway, all city, or mix? How many mpg are you getting? Have you measured this yet? We need more info to help you.

Hello,

WE bought a used 2002 and were getting 20 mpg. at start with the original Bridgestone tires with 39K.

I put Bosch Plattnum 4 plugs in and Castrol synthetic oil and it came up to 24 combined -- 27 highway.

My 2000 has averaged 24 city and 27 hwy for the past 6 months with a manual transmission. Keep in mind that the tank is rather small (only about 13 us gallons I think) so I usually only get about 300 miles on a tank.
