18mpg?

does that sound right on a 50,000 mile neon? im so confused. the cylinders are firing perfectly..the plugs are very nice, ash colored, no deposits.. no oil/etc.. theres no smoke coming out of my tailpipes.. i dont drive TOO lead-footed, given i do floor it every so often.. but not tothe point where i should be getting 1/2 my mpg?!

so what do you think the probs are? the exh, doesnt smell eggy unless i floor it, so i dont think its a plugged cat.. the car does have decent power.. however, if this keeps up i may get a new cat..

also, my odometer is a bit low..for a 95 neon?! at one point, i didnt see the odometer spinning..so im not sure if my odometer is broken..

what do you guys think?

plugged cat? broken odometer? soemthing else?!

im so confused.

the idle is pretty good, however i do feel the engine misfiring every so often.
