Place your bets!
Okay, my flight is booked and i'll be heading out at 6:15 Tuesday the 23rd from Indianapolis to Atlanta. There, the dealer picks me up and then I drive back to Indianapolis with my new baby. Seems like most people say the ol PT gets pretty poor gas mileage - or at least not as good as you'd hope. That got me thinking, so here's the deal: place your bets on what my average MPG will be between Hiram, Georgia (zip code 30141) and Indianapolis, Indiana (zip code 46227). According to Yahoo Maps it'll be a 518.25 mile journey. I'll be driving a 2004 PTGT 5-speed with a body kit. Whoever is closest wins a chintzy truck-stop souvenir

Re: Place your bets!
Since it's all uphill
 , I'll guess 23.8 for the whole trip.

Re: Place your bets!
Heh, I was going to say I thought it would be better then those numbers, but it just occurred to me that'll probably get stuck in Atlanta traffic. SO.... that's not gonna help.

Re: Place your bets!
It is a turbo after all; and you will want to go fast!
 (be sure to keep accurate calculations - actual gallons used, and actual mileage)

Re: Place your bets!
I'm gonna say that your gonna want to see how it runs and how the turbo feels so that and driving thru Atlanta will bring it down to about 22.
