I owned a 2000, 2002, and now a 2004 Dodge Intrepids, the later one I
brought used with 100,000 miles on it. All 3 cars have the same body
style, and same engine (2.7ltr) 6 cyl.

the 2000 & 2002 cars all got about 380 miles to a tank of gas... the
2004 gets 240 miles per tank of gas. At $3.50 im going broke.

What can be the problem?
It seems to run good
shifts gears good
runs smooth
doesnt run rich

And the engine light is NOT on

I already changed the plugs and air filters, both looked clean

I need advice, im going broke, what can be wrong with this car????

In Missouri, our idiot boy governor has decreed that service stations MUST
sell gasohol if its available at a price cheaper than regular gasoline, and
they may do so WITHOUT having to tell their customers that its gasohol. My
mileage has dropped by 3 mpg since this went into effect.
Checked your tire pressure lately?

Also, the injectors could be dirty. Run some "fuel injector cleaner" through
the system a couple of times...
