What the Chrysler PT Cruiser sticker says about fuel
Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the PT Cruiser, latest tested year 2010:
The label also prints an estimated $2,950 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 426 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the PT Cruiser under Sport Utility Vehicle - 2WD, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.
How the PT Cruiser's sticker figure changed
Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 2001 to 2010. Worth checking before you compare a PT Cruiser sticker from one year with another:
The figure has stayed broadly flat across the span. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.

Where to find the VIN on a Chrysler PT Cruiser
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every PT Cruiser, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Chrysler PT Cruiser all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A Chrysler PT Cruiser whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.
