    Ottawa is the same. Right now 95 in the morning and it drops to 85 at night. Just a couple of weeks ago it dipped to 74 cents per liter.

    is STP products any good?

Opinions vary on the STP fuel treatments...I use the injector cleaner 1 tank prior to oil change and see good results. For first gen neons use: 87 octane for SOHV and 91 Octance for DOHC ..if you...

    I think thats fine. I have 2 neons, both 2.0l 4 bangers. Both run on Mobil 1 5w-30 with OCI at 6 months or 12,000kms (7500 miles). Usually the mileage is hitting that right at the 6-month point.

    Maxing out RPM
