Something important with gas prices as they are. I finally got around to repairing my odometer. Thank you Jeff Backes and Odometer Gears. Whole project took about 90 minutes start to finish.

Now that you can check your milage - What is the average MPG of a 2.2L 8 valve engine?

Coming back from Tucson I had 20-22 at around 75 to 80. Appears to be somewhat perportional to the weight of the right foot.

After 109 miles of city and expressway driving, I just re-filled with 3.88 gallons of gas giving me a 28.1 avg. Top down driving, no A/C.
I need to take apart one more time, however, as the trip odometer reset won't reset...

Of course, here in SA, we pay a 5% premium for 93 Octane Premium ($3.99 -vs- $3.79).

Here's the embarassing story about the trip odometer... Seems its been a while since I reset a MECHANICAL one. After taking the speedo out again, I was pressing on the reset bar with increasing pressure when I suddenly heard a sickening crunch and thought for sure I had broke it. Ends up it was just a little stiff from lack of use. After going down memory lane, its probably been ten years since I've owned a car with a non-digital odometer...

I posted this on another thread before I got to this one.
It is about gas mileage in the 2.2 auto. I am getting between 16 and 17 mpg with no air on. I had the 02 sensor changed within the last year but I dont think it was with a mopar. Would that have such a dramatic effect?
Thanks Roger

Oddly enough, I've changed everything except the O2 sensor. I bought one but it is sitting in my garage. I will also say that I run my tires at 35 psi but I still cant' explain such a large difference between my MPG and yours. I will say mine was probably 80% expressway driving at 65-70. I'm sure all city will be lower.

This may be of some use to you, just in case your trip odometer is still stiff. I the speedo dead, just behind the trip button there is a copper (?) tension strip. Your trip button rubs off this strip. I applied a little white lithium grease to the contact point on this strip and now my trip is perfectly smoothe.
You guys got CHEAP gas. Here in Newfoundland, and just about right across Canada,we pay $1.53 per litre or $6.94 Imp. Gal. That transulates to $5.81 US Gal. I filled up my Grand Vitara the other day for $100.72!!!!!!!!!!!

On the open road I have always got between 28-30 MPG (with top up or down with or with a/c on or off). Around town a different story.

19 sounds like a bad O2 sensor or maybe fuel pressure regulator. Don't throw parts on though. Post up for a good mechanic on here or Turbo-Mopar.com.
Do you know about the basic key on/off/on/off/on check? the check engine light will flash codes for a basic area to look at.

On my trip to TC America National in Tucson this year, including the run to Tombstone and back home I averaged 29.97 MPG with my 8 valve /5 speed TC.
That's that 245,300 mile car.
Usually I get around 33 MPG average, guess I had too much fun running it through the gears on this trip.
