ok im gettin the shittest gas mileage possible. i changed the air filter, spark plugs, and oil. still no difference in gas mileage. everytime i turn the car on it seems like its going down a notch or so. its really sad. almost spending 20+$ on gas every week! were talking about less than 250 miles to the tank. its 4 cyl stratus. anyone got any ideas whats eating my gas so fast? and i dont even drive fast .

 

02 sensors going bad?
At one time in my old neon, I was averaging 19MPG!
After abotu 9 months it threw a code, it was the 02. Fixed that and things went back to normal.

 

what the heck is that. where can i buy one? also how much.

 

I have a neon, has 2 O2 sensors, one before the catalytic converter, and one after. Not sure where they are on a stratus, may be the same place,I have replaced both, first i replaced the one before the cat. That one was 80 bucks, then i got the second one, which was a universal one, which was 40, but i heard the universal ones wear out quick.

 

oh BTW... 02 sensor = Oxygen sensor... <3

 

im gonna try replacing the gas filter first. hopefully thatll solve things.

 

isnt that good ? thats like 1 tank right ? .... 1 tank gets me 220 or so and i think we have the same engin

 

its gas tank size that matters, not what engine yall have..iether you drive like a jackass/like julian, expect those numbers.. if u drive like you want to conserve adn u get that..02 sensor would be my bet..i guess fuel filter could be it

 

i drive slow, theres no point in going fast. i have a stratus i got like a 15 gallon tank. 25$ gets me about a full tank with gas prices like they are.

 

how many gallons do you put in, and how many miles you get.
