I have a 2006 PT Cruiser. My gas mileage is only 14.5 city 19 highway. I have 2.4 turbo eng. How do I get better gas mileage???

@Allen – Start by making sure that everything is correct mechanically. Set the tire pressure and change your air filter, if necessary.

The biggest boost in gas mileage comes with a change in driving habits. To get the highest MPGs, you have to lay off the gas pedal, whenever possible. The more quickly you learn to drive with your foot off the gas, the faster your mileage will climb.

This article should get you started in the right direction:

I have a 2004 pt cruiser with 2.4 engine,150 hp,auto trans. When I leave the traffic light almost every one tries to run over me, why are these cars so slow? I hear they have the same engine as the Dodge Mini van. Even the pt cruiser with turbo can’t keep up with the Honda Civic, it’s a shame.

I just bought α 2001 PT cruiser and im absolutely chuffed and satisifed with how it runs and handles the road with ease.
I used to be quite heavy lead-footed prior to purchasing this recent car, I nowadays go slower and am much more careful and conscious of my surroundings. Not only that, it’s to keep my son and other loved ones safe in my car. ツ
Cheers.

I own a 2008 Pt Cruiser 4 cyl automatic with typical low gas mileage for a 4 cyl, I had a 2008 Chrysler Seibring 4 cyl that got approx 20mpg city and I know 30+mpg highway, so why cant chrysler see this and use the same 4 cyl and transaxle in both.

Have a question. What SIZE is the tank on a 2005 PT Cruiser. I ask cause I’m looking at getting one and want to know about how much I can highway drive it on long trips. The vehicle has low mileage, but this may help make my decision knowing how far I can drive.
