Before I switched to Mobil 1, gas mileage was terrible. First long distance trip after the change, I averaged 28 MPG. My daily commute during the week average 19.5 to 21 MPG. The occasional run against a turbo Subaru drops it to around 15-17 MPG. Control is the answer to the low MPG problem. And of course, properly inflated tires, right oil in engine, clean car vs dirty (wind resistance/slipstream issues)and anything else science can dream up.
Ultimately ... did you buy your PT for the gas mileage ???? [8)]
