Hi liquid dj! <img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>

I can definitely relate to the low gas mileage! I get around 18mpg. This is mixed driving, basically a 10 minute city street drive to work and a 15 minute highway drive to school and a 20 minute highway drive home from school 4 days / week. Do some cruising / mixed driving on the weekends as well.

I'm hoping the low mileage is due to the newness of the car (hit 1400 on the odometer yesterday), but I see reports everywhere complaining of low fuel efficiency on this car. Coming from a '95 Mazda Protege (30mpg mixed, 40 highway), the PT's gas guzzling has been a big hit in the wallet for me as well.
