04 pt cruiser

I just got an 04 pt cruiser for the wife and I am wondering what we can
expect for gas milage. It is still breaking in so I know it won't be the
greatest for the first few thousand. Its a great car so far but just
wondering what to expect.

 

My 03 PT is around 20 mpg in town have not had it on hwy. From what I hear
they are not very good on mpg. More like a 6 than a 4 banger. I love mine
and just deal with it, only have about 3,000 miles so far. Don

 

I have a 2001 4 speed with about 31k.........

I drive it harder than my wife does

anywhere from 25 to 29 MPG

not many stops(1) or traffic lights (0) in our usual run of 16 miles

BUT, easy to go over 70MPH with out much effort.......

Also a 61 mile ride east over the Coast Range Mountains....rarely have to
brake or even shift, but for about 3 places.
Have hit 3 digits on the downhill (mileage does drop off)

I have a 2001 with 56,000 miles and an automatic. I get, if I'm lucky about
19 mpg and my wife gets probably 24 mpg.

 

Well its better than the chevy tahoe it replaced. I was only getting 15
with that.

 

Hiya all,

Just replaced an'01 with an '04 two weeks ago.
It uses a lot less petrol that the jag or the granada. Uses more if we go 90
ish instead of 70 ish on the motorway, uses more if I drive than if the
girlfriend drives.
But we bought it for the looks and not for the mpg. Woulda got a V8 if there
was one over here.

enjoy it.

pottsy.

 

Did you happen to noyice that big sticker on the window when you were
looking at the car? You can find the mileage figures there.

Yup I still got it. Too bad it isn't anywhere near the 30 mpg for highway.

 

Yep, reality and that sticker don't have much in commen!!!
