<<<I have driven 4 cylinder manual transmission MOPAR vehicles since
1985 and have never seen the need for a 6 cylinder in a normal passenger
car, unless you are driving an automatic. I normally get between 30 and
36MPG.
  My '96 Stratus, with the 2.0L engine, 5 speed tranny, and 16
gallon tank would easily go 520 miles on the interstate at 70MPH,
runnning the AC on cruise control... >>

Howard,
Better take a closer look at the "Mopar" engines you are talking about.

Mopar has been in bed with Mitsu
for years and this is where all the engine's your talking about are
coming from.

Mopar doesn't build a 4 banger.
Mitsu does.

So in reality, your Japanese Chrysler is giving you great fuel economy &
perfornance

Doesn't suprise me at all.
