Hey Cartman

Thanks for the comparison your right on the money on that. I have drove the two cars down the road with my wife next to me to make sure and the rpms are very close if not Identical. I would think that the cruiser would have lower gear ratio to compensate for the weight and drag, for more power but they seem the same. although the neon has alot smaller tire than the cruiser. I would guess that I am doomed with crappy milage, on the plus side it is fun to drive.

I think that our next new one will be another ford escape, our 06 makes 26 on the hiway and 19 in town and its 4 wheel drive,heavy and boxy too..

I'll just keep the cruiser for a sunday car.
