Any chance they can get better gas mileage than this?

What's the best MPG in the city you've seen in your own Cruisers?
18-20 for the automatic is about it. You'll probably see others claim more, but I suspect their math and how many tankfuls they went off of. I've had two automatic PTs, one 5 speed and have been following the PT since it came out. About 22-24 mpg in combination city/highway is about it. I've gotten 30+ mpg in strictly freeway driving. If you want better mpg you ought to go with another vehicle.
