2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser Review: An Adequate, Unremarkable Budget Compact

Apr 6, 2023

The 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser is charming in its retro style and it’s priced to move, and that’s just about the kindest thing you can say about it. The car is hardly a lemon, but, even in the modest arena of budget compacts, it comes up well short of the competition.

The Good

The car sells for under four grand, and the woody-wagon-inspired body design really is charming. It’s a shame more automakers don’t look to the golden age of the American highway for inspiration.

The Bad

There’s nothing really wrong with the PT Cruiser, it just rates mediocre in almost every category. It’s not quite sporty, it’s not quite roomy, it’s not quite agile, and it’s not quite comfortable.

Is the 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser a Good Used Car?

Overall Rating 7/10 – A mediocre, underwhelming budget compact.
Interior, Comfort & Cargo 7/10 – The cargo space starts out a bit tight, but it opens up nicely with the back seats down.
Reliability 7/10 – You’ll likely pass 200,000 miles on the original transmission, but expect to make lots of little repairs on the way there.
Safety 6/10 – Crash test ratings are average, and anti-lock brakes are hidden away in the GT trim,
Gas Mileage 8/10 – The 2007 PT Cruiser gets decent gas mileage, but hardly stands out from other budget compacts in this regard.
Value 7/10 – It’s priced fairly, it’s fuel-efficient, and it’s low-maintenance, it’s just not remotely the best car you’re going to find in the $4,000-$5,000 range.

It's very important to check fluids regularly.

Easy to drive. Gets good gas mileage. Love the retro styling. Only complaint is that it overheats. Have to make sure it has plenty coolant. Otherwise, it has been a very reliable car.

Lula F

It is a four cylinder car, but has all the power needed for a small car.

I love everything about this car, it excels in the small car line. It is very good on gas, has ample room for both the driver and the passengers. The back seat folds down for extra trunk room. It seats four comfortably, I would really advise anyone who wants a small car to try out this one first,

Jessica C

Pt cruiser. The most comfortable automobile I have ever owned.

It is comfortable, simple and easy on cost. I drive close to 50 miles each day , so long as you maintain your car it will maintain you.

Why I Love My PT-Cruiser Vehicle

I really think my car is reliable. It never really has failed me and it has stayed in pretty good condition. The car has four cylinders so gas lasts a long time, but it is pricey to fill the tank. One thing I really like about my car is how much room it has as well. It looks small on the outside but on the inside it's actually super spacious and comfortable. I also really like that it has a back windshield wiper because the other cars in my household do not. Also, because the car is small there are no big blind spots. What I don't like about my car specially is that the suspension wore out a little fast but I got that fixed easily by a mechanic.

Veronica S

It's fun to drive. Easy on gas. Roomier than it looks.

Love my car. Easy to get around in and has lots of room inside. Hatchback down, can fit anything in the back.

Siah D

It's the best car anyone can have.

I like my pt cruiser. My pt cruiser it small fast and efficient. There is nothing i dislike about my pt cruiser

Dd B

PT Cruiser offers very nice ride & good gas mileage.

Pt rides nicely and has good gas mileage. I have not had any major repairs needed since purchasing vehicle about 7 years ago. Has a wider turn base than I like. Needed 2nd car since bought pt (2011) so we purchased 2009 pt as well. We're considering upgrading & purchasing another pt in next year or so.

Silvia C

It's very fuel saving and very comfortable I like the color.

I like my car because it's convertible, but dislike it's too small.

PT Cruiser, inexpensive car but you get what you pay for.

Had it for a litter over a year. Purchased it from a used car dealer with over $100,000 miles on it. Started off running fine however I have experienced some issues since. I've had to replace the battery, put on new brake pads and routers and it runs hot when I am idling.

Mai-Lyn L

Worst Chrysler Vehicle? PT CRUISER

This is the worst car I have ever had. Since day one I have had problems with it. Yes, I bought it used but I also put 1,200 dollars worth of auto care into this vehicle just for it not to work ever. Chrysler should've never put this car out. That car is garbage.

Thomas J

It's ugly it runs very poorly always needs to be maintained and it's not very reliable

Well I guess I would start with the fact that it burns way too much gas the parts on it or very cheap go out very quickly all in all it is very unreliable vehicle

Ali M

My car is not what I want but it gets me to where I need to be.

Drives really bad mills a lot does not want to shift in higher gears at times, only one window rolls down the heater is broken. But other than that I am grateful I have car and am not walking anymore. Do not have good material seats which makes it hard to clean.

DEL B

IT'S TOO OLD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BEFORE IT JUST STOPS.

IT'S TOO OLD. THE COMPRESSOR IS BROKEN,SO NO A/C. THE FUEL INJECTION IS FAILING. THE DASHBOARD INSISTS THE AIRBAG HAS A PROBLEM.

Candace D

These cars are easy to tear up.

The vehicle was cheap so of course I would have problems. It runs hot and the horn blows on Its own, even though the horn doesn't work actually.

Izzy A

Horrible car to drive is you want something reliable.

This vehicle was built off of a weak frame. It is a short term car. Not built to last. All types of engine and electrical issues.

Michelle H

It is safe and reliable, it is very roomy.

I was sold a lemon. I have put more money into repairs than monthly bills. It needs a wheel alignment.

What Do Critics Say About the 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser?

Consumer Reports liked the 2007 PT Cruiser’s versatile interior, and they found the turbocharged model to deliver speedy acceleration. Beyond that, they disliked the slow, wide steering, the awkward layout, the limited visibility, and the tight rear cargo space.

Kelley Blue Book users give the 2007 PT Cruiser a lukewarm 75% recommendation. The car has earned some praise for being practical and low maintenance, and the quirky, nostalgic look of the car has its own unique appeal. Criticisms cover wide turning, poor performance in bad weather, and the cramped interior.

Edmunds liked the Cruiser’s low price, quick acceleration in the turbo model, and the stylish, fun look of the car. Wimpy acceleration in the base engine, mediocre fuel economy, and awkward seating cost the car a few points in the final verdict.

What Common Problems Does the 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser Have?

The 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser has just 147 complaints on file with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Engine cooling issues make up 27 complaints, with drivers reporting burned out piston rings resulting in engine failure.

Airbag complaints outnumber that by a single report, with drivers reporting the airbag warning lights staying on, and airbags failing to deploy, or only partially deploying, in the event of an accident.

Engine and transmission complaints are relatively scarce for the most part, but early signs of engine failure may include stalling and difficulty reaching highway speeds.

The 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser has zero recalls on file with the NHTSA at present. While the car may have its issues, it has generally proven to be fairly reliable and low-maintenance.

How Long Will the 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser Last?

The 2007 PT Cruiser is a fairly reliable car, typically lasting anywhere from 200,000 to 250,000 miles with adequate maintenance. With a PT Cruiser, more often than not it’s going to be the little repairs that add up rather than problems with the engine and transmission.

Repairpal estimate an annual maintenance cost of around $456. The most expensive common repairs include new exhaust pipes, starting at around $362, brake master cylinders at $369, and wheel replacements, starting at around $595 each.

Teresa R

I personally haven't had any major problems with my pt cruiser it's very reliable will definitely last you if you take care of your car.

How Is the Technology?

Entertainment technology in the 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser is pretty basic for the model year. The high-end model is available with a CD player with 6 speakers and an auxiliary input jack and that’s about as fancy as it gets. It’s everything you expect in a 2007 budget compact, nothing more or less.

Safety technology in the 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser is disappointing. You have to buy a turbocharged GT model if you want anti-lock brakes and traction control.

Is the 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser a Good Value?

The 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser is a decent value. That is, it’s priced fairly, and you get what you pay for. Fair market prices range from around $3,945 for an entry level convertible to $4,228 for a GT wagon. The PT Cruiser is low-maintenance, and these prices are for models with under 150,000 miles on the odometer.

The car comes cheap for a reason. It’s true that you have to go into the budget compact market with realistic expectations, but, even in this low price range, the PT Cruiser can’t keep up with the competition.

What are the Different Models of the 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser?

The 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser is available in four trims, from the self-explanatory Base to the high-end GT. The convertible model is available in the mid-range Touring and the top-of-the-line GT models, while the wagon is available in any trim.

What Engines Come In the 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser?

The 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser’s base engine is a 2.4L inline-four delivering 150 horsepower and 167 lb.-ft. of torque. This is paired to a 4-speed automatic transmission in front wheel drive, and it averages 22/29 miles to the gallon, city/highway.
Touring and Limited model Cruisers are available with mid-range version of the 2.4L i4, delivering 175 horssepower and 212 lb.-ft. of torque at an average MPG of 19/24.
In the GT model Cruiser you’ll find a turbocharged version of the base 2.4L engine, delivering 215 horsepower and 245 lb.-ft. of torque at 21/27 miles to the gallon. This is paired to a 4-speed automatic in front wheel drive.

What Colors Does the 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser Come In?

How Comfortable Is the 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser?

The 2007 PT Cruiser may feel cramped for larger drivers and passengers. The rear hip room taps out at 46 inches, which is a bit tight even for a compact. The suspension is decent and the seating is firm, but the layout is poorly optimized for a car intended as a throwback to spacious woody wagons.

How Much Storage Space Does the 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser Have?

Convertible PT Cruisers can be a bit stingy when it comes to cargo space, offering just 7 cubic feet in the back, or 21 with the seats down. The wagon is a little more generous, with 13/62 cubic feet of cargo space. If nothing else, a 2007 PT Cruiser wagon will carry everything you need for a long road trip.

What Are the Differences Between Years?

The PT Cruiser was a single-generation nameplate, launching in 2001 and retiring in 2010, making the 2007 edition the 7th model year for the car.

2004: Chrysler made no big changes to the PT Cruiser in 2004, but they did add a one-year-exclusive Platinum edition to the lineup.

2005: Convertible models were new for 2005.

2006: The GT model PT Cruiser got a performance boost in 2006, bringing it up to 230 horsepower.

2007: A redesign plan was ditched at the last second, making the PT Cruiser one of very few vehicles to run for more than a few years without a single facelift.

2008: Base and Limited models received a more powerful 180 horsepower turbocharged i4 in 2008.

2009: Chrysler dropped the convertible body type in 2009.

How Does the 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser Compare to the Competition?

The Chrysler PT Cruiser wasn’t the only budget compact with a throwback style released in 2007. You also had the Chevrolet HHR, a similarly short-lived retro wagon. The PT Cruiser actually compares favorably to the HHR, generally listing for a bit cheaper, and with a less awkward layout.

Beyond that, you could do a lot better than either of these cars, with the Mazda3 being arguably the best budget-friendly used compact for 2007. The hatchback models sells for a bit higher than the Cruiser, starting in the $5,000 range, but the intuitive layout, roomy interior, and agile handling are well worth the extra money.

The PT Cruiser is in that awkward position where it’s cheap, but it’s still not that great for the price. There are plenty of great budget cars to look into for 2007, like the Hyundai Elantra, the Ford Focus, and you’ve got the Civic and the CR-V if you want to spend a little extra. The PT Cruiser is simply unremarkable, even for the price.

Terry A on February 21, 2024

Reliable first car for my son

We didn't have to put a lot of money into this car, and it came to us well maintained with just under 83,000 miles on it. It is still running just fine 4 years later, and is for sale with the purchase of his next reliable used car. In spite of reports to the contrary, this car has been anything but a lemon. I felt less worried about my son as a new driver in a small car, because it is also a solid, substantial small vehicle and very dependable.

Julia F on March 22, 2021

Will not start sometimes and will start again days later.

The car will randomly not start sometimes and I get stranded. It is too small. There is no cruise control. It does get good gas mileage tho. And drives well when it starts. It is just not big enough with having 4 kids. If they would fix the problem with not starting then it would be a decent car.

Barbara E on March 14, 2021

It is a very practical and economical vehicle. As well as very reliable to date.

It is a good general purpose vehicle that allows me to transport items that I would not ordinarily be able to with a traditional car. The styling however is not really my taste.

liz s on March 14, 2021

Reliable, hardly any problems, good size, big trunk

It's a nice size vehicle. Has great steering and runs well. I dislike that I have to take the key to open the trunk.

Earl D on March 14, 2021

A convertible, enjoyable in good weather, adequate with the top up in bad weather.

Like --- appearance, handling, mileage. Dislike --- lack of room

Jesse Q on March 12, 2021

Sensors are faulty and sometimes miscommunicate with the car.

I am a tall person, so I would like more legroom. The console cramps the legs a little bit inwards towards the steering wheel.

Tom S on March 6, 2021

Good scoot around car with plenty of room

Good for quick tips around town, not much power. Kind of funny looking

Doris M on March 4, 2021

Style - this models stands out from all the other cars when you look at it.

I bought my PT Cruiser brand new in 2007 because I loved the model from the first time I saw it. It currently has 169,000 miles driven. Lately I am having a lot of overheating issues and the mechanics can't seem to find the problem. I think it is time to get a new car but I don't have the money or resources to do it.

Nancy L on March 4, 2021

Lovely, economic, and convenient car.

I love that my pt. Cruiser is small and easy to park. It is short in length therefore its easy to make sudden or small turns. It is also my favorite color which is blue. It is great on gas and very cute simple 5 seat car. I also like the arm rest that is in the middle because it can be adjusted and extended. Overall it is a great car.

Jane P on February 24, 2021

It's very important to check fluids regularly.

Easy to drive. Gets good gas mileage. Love the retro styling. Only complaint is that it overheats. Have to make sure it has plenty coolant. Otherwise, it has been a very reliable car.

Sharon M on February 15, 2021

It is fun to drive as it is a convertible and has a retro look about it

I love it as it is unique and a convertible. As it is older it needs a lot of repairs

Brady T on January 30, 2021

Pt Cruiser 07 review - love it

Decent on gas and easy to maintain. I have never had any problems with the engine or the vehicle's ability to run well. A complaint would be that it tends to struggle at faster speeds although as it's over 10 years old this is not surprising. The best part about my Pt Cruiser is how easy it turns and fits into spaces. Very easy for urban parking, travel, etc.

Mom B on January 18, 2021

It looks like a small car but actually has plenty of legroom.

It's not as big as I'd like. Wish it had a sunroof and heated seats. That's all.

Pam M on January 16, 2021

I love this car, fun to drive, looks cool, and is something i wish they were still making

I really like it. Has enough room to move some items. I think the only complaint i have is Chrysler tend to make funny noises and my auto guy say they all make those kind of noises and every time i take it in for them they can never find out what they are

Serena P on January 14, 2021

That I bought it used, and that does not reflect other models of the car.

I got my car used from a family member and thought it was in a good condition. I have found out differently since then. The brakes needed replaced. The window on the drivers side is stuck. The radio does not play CDs.

Bailey B on December 28, 2020

2007 turquoise PT Cruiser.

Very reliable car with very little issues mechanically. Mine is about 11 years old with 155, 000 miles and drives like it is brand new still. Check engine light comes on whenever gas cap is not screwed on all the way which can be annoying sometimes. Air pressure tire light comes on often too. Both are minor problems if you are able to discern them as being small fixes but it is hard to know otherwise.

Laura K on December 24, 2020

My PT cruiser is black, has a sleek look to it with a beautiful gray interior.

My PT Cruiser runs fairly well for it's age. It's a 2007. I have had some problems with it, such as it needed a new radiator and had to change the battery and replace the brakes and rotors. The heat/air conditioning needed fixing. The door lock and window needed to be fixed, and the horn doesn't work. I also wish it was four wheel drive. I have enjoyed the vehicle however. It rides really well and is fun to drive. It's a beautiful car. I love the design of it, it's small but it has all you really need. I love the little sunroof it has. It really is a great car, especially for one person or for a small family.

Steve B on December 24, 2020

It was different,it had different look and style and tried to be a new idea.

It is a car that has held up well over the years, it is a 2007 the gas mileage is not to bad it gets somewhere in the range of 20 to 25 mpg.

Henry h on December 17, 2020

Even though it was designed for younger people, the PT Cruiser proved popular with older people. Now, younger people are taking notice.

It get decent mileage. It is fairly reliable. But most importantly, it is paid for.

Alicia L on December 5, 2020

Chryslers are reliable, dependable cars for a reasonable price.

I bought my car used. Miles (that's what we named the car) has been very reliable. I've driven to work 25+ miles per day for 4 years! It's never broken down. It's not too bad on gas given its size. But I would like some updated features (i.e. Bluetooth, push button start).

Mark W on December 2, 2020

What I like about my 2007 PT Cruiser. Best thing I like is the comfortable ride.

It is very comfortable to drive and it is very reliable. It is roomy. It has good acceleration. It has a sunroof. It gets decent gas mileage. It is equipped with a satellite/am/FM stereo with CD player. It has good sounding speakers. The back seats fold down or they can be removed to transport a dryer or small appliances. It is equipped with rear window defogger along with a wiper. The passenger windows are tinted.

Melanie S on November 29, 2020

I do love the auxiliary option for the radio so you can listen to personal music

I love the gas mileage on my car however the AC goes in and out ALL the time. There's always something wrong with it even after getting it worked on. When it works it is great for road trips and spacious too. If you have a small single family it's great in size. A family of 5 however, wouldn't be comfortable in this type of car.

steve W on November 27, 2020

It is different than most other cars on the road

I like that it gets good gas mileage. And also it is easy to drive around town It is easy to park

Patricia M on November 5, 2020

Very comfortable car to drive and ride in.

I love it, easy to drive, I sit up high even though it looks like its low. I have not had any big problems, new battery probably the biggest problem. That's from normal wear. Gets good gas miles.

Jonathan W on October 30, 2020

An excellent car that I can rely on.

My PT Cruiser is extremely reliable and rarely gives me any problems. It is not fancy or expensive, but it goes above and beyond to fulfill my needs.

Emily W on October 19, 2020

"I thought I would hate it, but I love it. " Chrysler PT Cruiser.

All of the features you need in a comfortable car. Power windows. Ac. AUX port. Cruise control. Plus it gets great gas mileage! On average 30 mpg. Filling it up does not break the bank either. I was never a huge fan of these because I never really liked the style, but I am really learning to appreciate it as a reliable vehicle. I am riding strong at 145, 000 miles, and I expect a few years yet before buying something new!

donna l on October 15, 2020

Windows...I like big window areas. I feel so much safer

It's easy to drive. I like the big windows. I can see a lot around me..that's important

Lula F on October 13, 2020

It is a four cylinder car, but has all the power needed for a small car.

Nick R on October 6, 2020

It is a great car if you need a lot of space to carry your belongings

My car is a bottom of the line model but has all the essentials. It is a manual transmission which I enjoy as well. It is reliable and has only broken down once since I bought it 3 years ago.

Marlon R on September 27, 2020

Praises for the PT Cruiser.

It had a problem with overheating all the time. I have changed the radiator, thermostat, and a couple of hoses. But other than that it runs rather well. It is a gas saver which I love the most. $25 fills the tank up which I love. Anyone looking for a small car. They will love the Chrysler PT Cruiser.

Julie C on September 19, 2020

It's comfortable to drive and travel in. Our car has taken us all over the country with very few problems.

I like that my vehicle is a good every day driver. I like that it has the space I need for people as well as belongings. There's not much I don't like...except the normal wear and tear.

Denise L on September 16, 2020

It doesn't have a smooth ride like a bigger car! Better suspension would be a plus. My air conditioner has a small leak and so far putting dye in it hasn't resulted in finding it.

I like the visibility it offers and the way it handles. I do wish it had a little more room inside, a smoother ride and a little better gas mileage. It's old but still has low mileage and is adequate for my needs at this point.

Sam O on September 8, 2020

Golden pt dream cruiser limited edition.

While accelerating the car does get a little loud. The muffler has been redone. It's a limited edition pt cruiser that's gold in color with heated seats. Breaks nicely. Has a stereo system in the back. Comfortable seating. Broke down once and had to get pulled by another car. Once overheated but haven't had any problems since.

Amy Y on August 18, 2020

No issues, drives and looks great.

It breaks a lot. It costs more to fix the car than it did to purchase. It is a pretty color car. It has a lot of space.

michelle c on August 15, 2020

The gas mileage is of the chrysler pt cruiser not great

It is roomy and comfortable. The air does not work. The gas mileage is not great.

Rachel F on August 12, 2020

That it is somewhat small, so it is easy to maneuver.

I am a beginner driver so this is the only car I have driven. It drives well and I am happy with it. I like that the car does not sit low. I do not like to feel too low to the ground.

Ashley F on August 10, 2020

Cute PT Cruiser- great first car!

I bought it used with about 100,000 miles on it- close to 200,000 miles now and it's still working great (had about 4 years now). Very minor problems, just some lights out, breaks needed fixing and minor wiring issues with the windshield wipers. Perfect first car.

Amanda J on August 10, 2020

So for a summary my vehicle is a pt cruiser wagon with some small issues.

It is a great car but I have had my problems with it. Most if the issues are my fault mostly. The tires are my latest problem I have bought 2 tires in 3 weeks. Also it is hard to gain speed with jerking from the motor and will not / cannot go over 60-65 mph. It is reliable and dependable. It might be the most dependable car that I have had even with all the problems I am having with my car it is never left me stranded or had a big enough issue that left me without a car. So I am grateful for that. ..

Elizabeth M on August 6, 2020

Very good mileage and low maintenance

I love the shape of this car, very unique. And the color, red. There is a lot of space inside and other than routine maintenance, I have had no problems with this vehicle.

Karen R on July 27, 2020

It looks classy and drives wonderfully.

I like the way it looks. The compact size. Also like how easy it is to drive. So easy to get around in and able to park in small parking space.

Michelle H on July 21, 2020

It is safe and reliable, it is very roomy.

I was sold a lemon. I have put more money into repairs than monthly bills. It needs a wheel alignment.

Rosalind B on July 18, 2020

Reliability: I have to start my car about every three day.

I had my engine blow up which cause me to replace the battery, alternator, hoses, and radiator. The computer for the car froze up therefore having to disconnect the radio and inside light which is an inconvenience. The electrical system was messed after 3 months. I will not recommend or buy a chrysler again. Thanks.

Luisana G on July 11, 2020

It's a great economical car. It drives smoothly and it hasn't died on me. It also has ice cold a.c.

I really love my car because it's small, its economical on gas, and it drives smoothly. I haven't really had any bad experiences with it yet. It's takes me everywhere I go.

Kat R on July 3, 2020

This PT Cruiser Convertible provides a pleasurable driving experience.

I really enjoy driving this vehicle! The size is compact yet large enough to carry my rather large size drum, (musical instrument). I purchased it used, it's a 2007 and it had only 102,00 miles at the time of purchase, yet it is in excellent condition. I am really enjoying the convertible roof, it just adds to the joy of driving this vehicle!

Dd B on July 3, 2020

PT Cruiser offers very nice ride & good gas mileage.

Melanie L on June 29, 2020

Very good running car. Could be a good car for first car.

This is a very nice car to drive. Great on gas and works very nice. I would like it to have more room but other than that I love this car. I feel it safe when I am driving with my family. This car is a small car so it is a gas saver. It is breaks are smooth and never make noise. It has never failed me.

elizabeth h on June 25, 2020

It's got a lot of room and its run good not major problems with it

Like like my pt its ride smooth have not have any not major problems yet i like the room its have

Patricia V on June 23, 2020

Reliable and Safe Long-term Vehicle

My car is very reliable and I feel very safe in it. Over 150,000 miles and it still runs smooth without issues

Izzy A on June 18, 2020

Horrible car to drive is you want something reliable.

This vehicle was built off of a weak frame. It is a short term car. Not built to last. All types of engine and electrical issues.

Clifton I on June 13, 2020

Since I'm from the old school days, it's definitely stylish.

I bought the vehicle pre-owned and it had approximately 44,000 miles on it. Right not to this day I have a little of 111,000 miles. Other than minor repairs, oil change, tune up, tires, etc... The only what I would say major issue came years later when I needed my right axle replaced and my A/C compressor repaired, it's been given me no major type problems. I'm not ready to give it up.

Alexis L on June 10, 2020

It has great gas mileage, comfortable and retro interior, and a convertible top.

I have issues with the battery quite recently. I also have had a multitude of flat tires, tires being run down fast (when I buy them new), and other issues with the wheels. But I've had it for four years now and it gets me from Point A to Point B, is comfortable, and doesn't waste a lot of gas.
