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.
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.

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.
