From what I've read plugs, wires, and an air intake... and that's about it. Pretty much, pt's are not known for their gas milage. sadly..

155miles to the tank....Are you exaggerating?? I sure hope so. Sometime I get 250miles to the tank and I'm bummed out. Other times I get an excess of 350miles per tank fill up.
When was your last tune up? Do you try to find the cheapest gas around and buy it there? A gas station near here is nearly $.10 cheaper then everyone else, but their gas sucks...I get MAYBE 220miles per fill up with their gas. When was your last oil change? How is your air filter? Try any Fuel Injector cleaners? Good luck - Welcome to the forums!

No way you should get that few miles to the tank. See my signature for plug info and wires you could also check with Maggie at www.raceandstreet.com for wires.
I get 17-19 City and 24-27 Highway.

Forget about how many miles to the tank. How many MPG's are you getting? Miles per tank, divided by how many gallons to fill it up. Miles per tank is a useless statistic because it doesn't tell us how empty your tank is when you go to fill it up.
Now if THAT number is under 18-20 MPG, you've got something wrong somewhere. Especially if you're in Denver. From my experience, everytime I've driven through Colorado I've gotten almost 5MPG better than I do at sea level. I've averaged over 30MPG with a V6 through CO with the same car that in 4 years I never did better than 23MPG a tank. I'd pull the codes if I were you. If there aren't any, the only other thing I can think is maybe the parking brake is locked up? I get 22-23MPG on my PT and I haven't broken it in yet. Still at 5,000 miles or so. And I drive fast. |

i thought I got crappy on my turbo at 220 to the tank, and that's me stomping on it all the time. Now I get 250-270 after added Cold air intake and pumping gas at slowest pump speed.

Yeah I know it for a fact that an intake with a k&n filter will make a difference big time. I had owned nothing but Intrepids since 1997 and I had one that got cheesy mileage until I got the o-rings on the injectors replaced and put a k&n filter on it and made the world of diffrence. So I can wait until I get an FIPK for the little purple people eatter. I don't drive that far obviously, but it would be nice to get beeter gas mileage, ya dig?
