Default Re: 2006 PT Limited Ed Mileage is terrible.

I wish I got better gas milage, but because the Michigan Interstate speed limit is currently set at 70mph, with the drivers going 85 cruising and just staying with traffic is hard to keep descent gas milage. I have the KN&N Drop in Air Filter, new tires with about 2-3 PSI more than recommended, I try to use that Fuel Injector cleaner solution stuff, but nothing seems to be working.

I am averaging about 20MPG per fill up. Thing is, when my fuel gauge reads that I am on "E" I actually have a good 50 more miles on the tank (did a little experiment with a 5gal. gas tank in the back seat.) Although 20mpg isn't too shabby for a PT, I wish I got more. I won't be greedy though because of that fact its a PT!!
