Getting 27 - 31 Miles a Gallon: The Dodge Spirit for 1992

One of the staples of the Sedan segment is the Dodge Spirit. In the previous model year released a brand new version of the Spirit with four versions: Base, ES, LE, and R/T. Sales for the Spirit, especially the Spirit LE, were brisk during 1992 and 1993. The improved vehicle quality and the classic styling were responsible for the sales boost.
