Re: What's the best MPG can the PT Cruiser get?
Lawchick, is your car a turbo or standard? Mine's a turbo and even with my leadfoot driving its WAY better on gas than my jeep. I went a week on approx 6 gallons of gas and I couldnt do that in a million years in the jeep.
Also is it a manual or auto trans? Autos generally suck (jmho) but if you have a 4cyl you will waste a LOT of power which they dont have to spare in the first place. My sister had a dodge shadow in highschool and even tho she drove like she is 80 y/o she got 24 mpg tops. That car was in perfect tune. But I hear of PTs with manual trans and standard engines getting in the high 20s all the time on the highway. Thats not too bad, considering what it is.
