Cool Re: 2006 PT Limited Ed Mileage is terrible.

The average mileage on the first trip was 17.9 mpg. The second trip
mileage was 18.7 mpg. The window sticker say highway mileage should be
22-30. Not even close.

We have a 1999 corvette coupe with 400 horsepower and we get almost 30
mpg on the highway with it!!!

Why the heck can't this little 4 cylinder PT Cruiser get better mileage?

Anyone else have similar problems?
Just checked my used 2002 for the first time and I am very miffed at 18 mpg! My 300 horse Vette gets better mileage!! That's the reason I bought this Cruizer! (And gas here in Hawaii is $3.52 a gallon at Costco! (Part of the mileage problem is they pee in it with 10% ethanol). -Pila
