Terrible fuel mileage 😔

Terrible fuel mileage 😔

It gets like 16L/100km, which is about 14mpg!!

It has the 4 speed auto and the 2.4 turbo.

Tires are quality (I think either Michelin or Goodyear)

Check engine is on, like usual

Spark plugs have recently been changed

I also pretty much never go over 3k rpms (basically I don't drive like a maniac)

Total estimated range is like 360km 😭🙏

Passenger side CV axle replacement confusion.

I ordered new GSP CV axles about a month ago off rock auto. They both were listed as compatible for my PT cruiser year and model, 2004 turbo, limited trim. I only just now got around to pulling the old CV axles off, was able to do it without needed it even go under the car.

As soon as I got them off I compared them to the new ones. The drivers side is a perfect match minus a black thing in the middle, not sure if that is needed or not.

the passenger side is totally different and I was confused if this new one is even compatible at all. It has a bracket that holds it in place to the car, and it connects to a second smaller rod. It actually just looks the same as the drivers side axle, but connected to that smaller rod. Will this still work even though it is different ? If not, where can I purchase a new/correct one?
