Re: What's the best MPG can the PT Cruiser get?

23-24 mpg is what I got on a 500 mile trip to Atlanta driving with cruise set at 75.
I just joined Fuelly on July 1st to keep better track of my mpg... what's funny is I've seen PT's on there with fillups that just don't add up.... 30 mpg? Upon closer examination you see the "I forgot to add the last fillup."
Well duh... I wouldn't think it's that hard to save a gasoline receipt and add it into a database but maybe I'm wrong.

We have been figuring our mileage for 40+ years and have just started using "FUELLY" to track our PT. We have just returned from a 3800+ mile trip and our highway mileage ran between 26 and 30+. Those are true and correct MPG. Around town, you are right 18 - 20 is about the best we can do, mainly because of stop lights and short trips.
