Hey, it's a 9mpg PT-40!

[Mike McMahan]

I owned a 1982 PT 40 with the 6V92 red engine. It would average 5.5 to
maybe 6.0(downhill coming home from Denver)usually pulling my 24'
enclosed car trailer. Didn't really make any difference with or
without the trailer. Mike McMahan 1982 PT40(formerly) 1996 42'
