I bought a very clean 2001 PT Cruiser with 24K on it. I filled the tank and drove it for 125 miles in suburban driving (12 miles north of Pittsburgh) and then put another 60 miles on it on I-279/I-79 for a total of 185 miles. I filled the tank, it took 11.5 gallons which comes to 16 mpg. I know you don't get the sticker mileage (20 City, 25 Highway) but 4 mpg less than the listed city mpg doesn't make sense. What could be wrong with car??
