Mike-In-Orange is a better person to answer your question since he has a Turbo-lite with Stage 1. However, Stage 1 does not "eliminate" the limiter. If the lite has the same limiter as the non-turbo, then Stage 1 might raise the limiter to the Turbo's 128 mph.
According to 3BarBoost, the PT gets very squirrelly above 130 due to rear end lift that brings on bad overstear. Don't every expect Chrysler to let the PT get into that speed range with their blessing.
As to mileage, I have heard both increases and decreases. If you want Stage 1 for performance you will use it. That would probably offset any increase that you might otherwise experience. Add the extra cost for Preminum and it isn't going to be a money saver. Sorry.
