HI,
i plan to install some aftermarket gadgets to improve the drive and mielage on the PT cruiser. My model is the 2001 baseline model.
Questions:
1) does the car have a vacuum bar (the one normally placed before the injectors) - plan to install a vacuum controller
2) If i were to ground my car further, do i connect it to the "-" of the battery or at the "-" sign on the car body? there is a mark stating "-" sign on the body of the engine compartment - planning do install ground wires and voltage stabilizers
3) does the fuel saver magnets work with the PT cruiser?
4) does the car have a vacuum line from the intake manifold to the engine head? - planning to install the air compressor to better cool the engine head
thanks.

No aftermarket gadgets will improve mpg. This topic has been beaten to death on the forums. No matter what others have said about adding an intake, exhaust system, the Turbonator, better spark plugs, etc the only way to get the best mpg is to drive conservatively, proper tire pressure and keeping your car properly tuned. Here is an article on magnetism and gasoline.

Remember, all manufacturers of supposedly mpg adders will not claim their products don't work. I hope you didn't buy the PT with mpg in mind. They weigh alot and have the wind resistance of a sheet of plywood. Just enjoy the many nice things about driving a PT. [?]
