Yeah! According to all the pamphlets around the dealer, MPG rating went up this
year (36 from 32 highway) due to a taller overdrive. We originally test drove an
'03 SXT. Our car's tranny feels a little tighter, and overdrive only drops it
about 500-600 rpm at 65. I think R/T's may have shorter gearing than base neons.
But that is a seat-of-the-pants assessment not verified fact. However despite
cruising at 3500rpm (75-80 mph) through the Cajon Pass, I'm still getting
32-34mpg. Do R/T's have the same tranny as base neons?

Hey Tom, Welcome. I'm kinda new myself. I didnt really
send an e-mail to announce myself but o-well. I own a
blazing red 03 RT aswell. I love it. Question, have
you noticed when cruisin on the highway in 5th gear
that the rpms are higher than normal? I mean like
around 3-4 rpms.
