Everyone:
Good morning. The mileage on my 2003 Neon has been steadily getting worse. I'm looking for ideas as to what's causing this issue and how I can fix it.
I own a 2003 Neon. 2.0 SOHC with an automatic transmission. Starting this past winter the mileage started getting worse. At first, I didn't mind because the change was so gradual. It went from 24 combined to 22. Now, I'm barely getting 20 mpg combined. I've been running my air conditioning continuously, but I don't remember the mileage dropping off this much in previous summers.
I do have a misfire on cylinder 3 and the engine idles roughly. I suspect this is the culprit. Again, my Neon has had this issue for years and the mileage has always been in the 24-28 combined range.
Any ideas or suggestions will be appreciated.
