I have had my 996 now for just over a month now and I am curious what kind of gas mileage other drivers are getting in their NA 996s because mine seems to be kind of poor, I can literally almost watch the pointer in my gauge drop!!

If my mileage is below average performance, what are some things i can do to improve it?? (air filters/spark plugs etc?)

 

Kev, everyone is gonna get different mileage based on how you drive. You're also gonna be a couple of miles less because you have AWD. There's really not much you can do outside of what you mentioned combined with taking it a bit easier, but we all know you can't do that! FWIW

 

yea.. i actually just looked up the average mpg stats on msn and it looks like im right there at average (16 for city) or slightly better. I wasnt expecting great fuel economy but it still caught me off guard after coming from an AWD A4.

oh well...

 

and look out if you change the ECU - the computer just throws gobs of fuel into the chambers..... I'm getting 12 mpg. I drive with the RPM always above 4k rpm so my torque is available if I need it. And in SoCal, gas costs have gotten to the point where I am almost considering slowing down.......

 

I average 21.5 mpg around town on a tank of gas.
That includes the work commute of 5 miles, and spirited drives to weekend dinners.
Last weekend I drove 145 miles to Sebring and averaged 30 mpg at 75 mph.
On the track I averaged 7 mpg.

 

Not sure what my average is...But I know it is horrible! I think it has to do with taking her to redline in every gear everywhere I go... (j/k) Since I have been driving my car daily more and more often there is plenty of good opportunities between Laguna and Costa Mesa to wind her up good. Thus my MPG sucks... I love to run through the gears... THANK GOD FOR MY V1...

 

I get about 20 to 22 MPG.

 

Average about 21 mpg

 

15 to 17 average, mostly city driving.

Mid single digit at the track.

Best highway mileage of mid 20's.

 

my N/A C2 coupe is like 12mpg local. 13.5 mpg on freeway!!!worse than a TT!!! sad.............

 

I am getting 20 mpg most of the time
My only complaint is that I have to fill up so often
I love driving this car so much i go through a lot of gas
I like the gas pedal too!!

Oh Ya .....Go Stampeder's

 

u floor it all day long! j/k. allen, i know.

 

oh ya, i'm going to let some dealer to check it out after my coming final week...

 

21 mpg with both city and highway miles. Each time, I usually use a quarter tank, unless I am taking it through Malibu.

 

15.8 - mostly city driving, mid level driving, not driving miss daisy but not dukes of hazard either.
