Incredible gas mileage
2 Attachment(s)
Had to share this with you guys. A couple of weeks ago I drove from Metz, France, to Milan, Italy. Mostly highways but some B-roads too with a LITTLE spirited driving. Car loaded with luggage in frunk and seats. High aircon and ventilated seats. Burmester burming away.
500 or so kilometres in, I had AVERAGED 38.2 mpg. Incredible in a car with 430 hp. I'll try and post the photographic evidence! Dominic C2S Powerkit PDCC PCCB PSE PPE (okay that last was my degree course!) |
Dominic,
Hugely impressive. For those in the US, his measurement is imperial. It translates to about 32mpg US. |

Mmmm.... I've got 313hp and 480lb/ft of torque and get easily 45mpg.... On long trips even above 50mpg ;) but that's not a Porsche of course.
32mpg in a 911 is pretty impressive indeed. I did a little roadtrip in the alps last week with my Boxster and did not get much better than 20mpg, but driving on mountain roads doesn't really help I guess. |
I average much less...... and don't want to improve :-)
Impressive nonetheless. |
When I told my Porsche mechanic that I was getting 32 mpg, he smiled and said that I was driving the car wrong.

Funny, that's exactly what my dealer said!

I can get about 30mpg on the highway. but what I've discovered is that there's an inverse relationship between Fun and MPG. Once I get down to 10-11 mpg the fun starts!
