Hi Terry, I t seems to me that the mileage was not all that much better than my Dodge Minivan. I took a PT Cruiser for a test drive, the noise level of the engine noise, was higher than my van. Also it didn't have enough power, although I understand a turbo for it is in the works. A really versatile vehicle, though a tad pricey. Regards, John M.

I get 25 to 30 mpg with my '83 Benz, can fit a grand action in the trunk or back seat, and it has been humming along pretty well lately. So I guess I'll limp along with it until the air cars are available. I forget what the PT Cruiser mileage was, but I remember being shocked that it was so low. I just see nothing out there that motivates me to part with $20,000-plus. > > Terry Farrell > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Phil Ryan" <pryan2@the-beach.net> > To: <pianotech@ptg.org> > Sent: Sunday, March 03, 2002 9:47 PM > Subject: Re: My Fisrt House!
