Re: 92 Spirit Gas Mileage
Have the O2 (oxygen) sensor checked; when it fails, it causes the engine to run rich. Is your exhaust wet and black inside after running? Then it's likely the O2 sensor.

Re: 92 Spirit Gas Mileage
Get the codes first before spending that much $ to replace something. Could be the coolant temp sensor as well.
How to get the codes and descriptions of each code- http://www.knizefamily.net/minimopar/fault/index.html

Re: 92 Spirit Gas Mileage
Well in my old '92 Spirit V6, I got around 250mi to a tank of fuel. Also, as soon as the car read just below 1/4 tank it would run out! As of gas mileage, try doing a tune-up. With mine I decided to try one of those chips off of E-bay as well. Helped a little bit...but ended up derbying it a cuple weeks later so not sure if it helped or not haha.
