I was wondering, since I'm having that apparent oil burning problem (but
not seeing any leakage, or blue smoke) what are you guys with 5 speed
2002's getting for fuel economy?

I'm getting like 19 mpg average, with a mix of city and highway driving,
low revving, and maybe 5 minutes of engine warm up before each drive.
That's on Mobile premium. I think it should be higher but maybe not.
That's not too far off what Nissan says on the low end.

Also, what did you guys think of the turbo Neon from the (Detroit?) auto
show? The one that looks like a bastardized rip off of the WRX with
extra factory rice .

Interesting I though, and I love turbos, but it's still a hunk of crap,
of course my car is currently also.. Anyway, off to the Baltimore auto
show =)
