My mileage has improved! - PT Forums - The PT Cruiser Enthusiasts and Owners Resource

I now have 16,000 miles on my Limited 5 speed and before installing the Bassani duals and cold air injection system, I was getting between 22 and 25 mpg in mixed driving. In the past month I have noticed that my mileage has increased to an average of between 25 and 28 mpg. Don't really know if the reason is because the cruiser is broken in or whether the increase is due to the new exhaust. In either case, this is a pleasant surprise

I have the Injen cold air injection system. I initally had the baffles out of the Bassani duals, but the sound was too loud for my taste and real loud at highway speeds. The mileage results I posted are with the baffles in place.
