The PT doesnt get bad gas mileage. I have a Sonoma with the 4.3L and it sucked gas like a bitch. With the driving I did in the PT to where I went from full to 1/2 tank, I would have already refilled the tank and used 1/4 of the new tank of gas in the Sonoma. The gas mileage could be better since its a 4 banger but its a big 4 banger. If you run premium it gets better gas mileage because it takes a higher temperature to burn plus it makes your performance better[?].
Idisagree a V6 Buick LeSabre has a better gas mileage rating than the PT. IMHO two things cause the poor mileage the first being your pushing a barn door through the air. The second is you have to push the engine harder than you would ( no torque ) if the PT had a V6
