Default Re: Gas Mileage

Normal with an automatic. It should get better as engine breaks in. There is no magic increasing mpg. Proper tire inflation, engine tuned, easy on the gas foot and some say switching to synthetic oil (though I've never seen it) will help mpg. Anything else is snake oil and wishful thinking. You are driving a heavy car that's underpowered and moves through the air like a brick. PTs are great to cruise in, but are not great at mpg.
