Fill your tank then set your trip odometer to 0. Run around until you need gas. Fill it. check trip odometer. Divide gallons bought the second time by the milaege on the trip odometer. This is your gas milaege. 25 mpg on the highway is about right. Around town stop and start driving you will be in the teens.
 
I have the 2.3L and was told that I should be getting about 25 mpg. But on a tank of gas I can only go about 200 - 230 miles. Today at work I mentioned that I was getting horrible gas mileage and a co- worker said that I need to replace the oxygen sensor and buy some seafoam. And that it may have something to do with the timing. Does anyone else know what I need to get or are these the things that I need to buy?
I'm getting about 200 - 230 miles on a tank of gas. And I think the tank is 16.5 gallons.
 
what kind of mileage are you getting now? how big is your tank? the biggest impact on mileage is driving habits and whether it is in town or on the highway.
