Wow I have to say I'm kinda bummed reading this. My old supercharged V6 regularly returned 25mpg so I was hoping for better out of the 2.4. On the upside thank you for all the replies and I guess it's good to know that I'm not getting below average gas mileage.

I'm pretty sure there's at least one more thread put there like this one. Check it out and you could find some further input.

Reason you were getting better mileage with the SC V6 is because the engine had more power and had to work less to move the weight of the vehicle. If you take a look at what Tim's mileage numbers are fully modded compared to my mostly stock numbers, his mileage dwarfs anything I could hope to achieve. Its physics if you really think about it.

give us some more background...are you a new driver by chance? do you take off at every stop light? how many miles does the car have? all other maintenance performed regularly? do you clean the air filter as needed?
not sure what tire pressure is average means...put the tire pressure at the pressure noted on the sticker in the drivers side door seam.
maybe try resetting your ecu (unplug battery for ~10 minutes, plug back in and let it idle on its own for 5-10 minutes)

I guess he has money to burn. I'd rather waste my money on parts that actually make my car faster, hookers, and drugs. Fucking amateurs. :

I paid $3.75 today and thought it was cheap. Got a bonus though randomly from the car next to me a very very nice looking women decided to fill her tank in a thong bikini... Best fill up I've had in a long time!

Not a new driver at all....i dont take off at lights...70k on the car...tire pressure is where its suppose to be because i check every so often...i change the oil regularily but as far as the filters not really...i have a cold air intake and use the cleaning kit to clean the air filter...cabin filter was changed so idk what other filters are needed to be cleaned...i havent changed the tranny fluid and thats where i think my problem would be..but idk...resetting the ecu by disconnecting the battery has been done but nothing...o and since gas went up i switched to 89 instead of 93... Preferably sunoco
