Rated miles per gallon is total BS!

TOM KAN PA · 2004-10-26T23:16:45+00:00

I just read a post and several replies about poor gas mileage in a Neon.I have a '01 PT Cruiser with 30,000 miles on it. I just did the "recommended30,000 miles spark plug replacement".I still feel lucky if once in 50 fill ups I get 17 mpg.4 cylinder, auto, sticker rated at 22/27 mpg.Bullshit!!! I never came close to achieving these mile per gallons.

I have a very similar experience. My Wife drives a 2002 Chrysler Voyager

3.3 and local driving never attains better than 15MPG. On the highway I am doing much better with a MPG of about 23. I have had the vehicle to the Dealer 3 times and each time I list fuel economy as an issue and they have yet to find anything wrong. Other than this I am very happy with the vehicle.

Additionally I drive a 2004 Chrysler PtCruiser, non-turbo automatic and I get a solid 21 MPG local since new.
