First off - Your post is not irregular! People are always asking why their gas mileage sucks...All PT's are pretty much the same. You can do some things to your car to get that extra 1-3MPG difference, but it will always be in the low-mid 20's. Don't be suprised if it's in the teens in the city. As everyone always says "The PT is about as aerodynamic as a brick" - It's true.
I personally have a sheet cake sytle (Drop-In) air filter by K&N and its awesome. I noticed no improved gas milage, and very little to no horsepower increase. Unless you remove some weights in the car (Back seats, spare tire, passenger rear main tire (jk!)) your gas mileage is not going to be great. For your body questions, I couldn't tell you. I'm sure someone will get back to you on that! Welcome to the forums!!

Another option is to import a 2.2 diesel PT from another country. 45 mpg and a more powerful block then the petrol block.

I also have a Cool Vanilla 07. Bought mine new this Jan. I don't have the digital display because I have a base w/ stick shift, but I wouldn't pay too much attention to that digital MPG thing. Just fill it up, then drive it till the fuel light comes on, reset the trip odometer, then fill up again. Take the amount of gas to top off the second tank and divide that into the number of miles you went. That's the most accurate MPG you'll get. With the automatic, you'll probably get about 20MPG in mixed driving if you don't drive it too hard.

When does your fuel light come on - PT Forums - The PT Cruiser Enthusiasts and Owners Resource Figure your mpg with at least 5 fillups. 1-2 tanks is a joke and not very accurate. ![]()
