Cool What's your best gas milage?

Best I've gotten in the city is 19.8. On the highway 24.7. When am I going to get the reported 24 or 28...lol. What about the rest of you? I try to drive in non-PDK in big traffic and streets with frequent lights and stop signs. But the freeway and long streets are PDK.

I am getting 18 with my 2009 C4S/PDK. Unfortunately, mostly city driving in Seattle area. I would love to open this up on a long trip

Average, right around 14...every time I burn through a tank going out for a quick joy ride I stop and fill it back up before getting home with a smile on my face and think to myself that was the best fifty bucks I've spent!

Never figured out aggressive driving...3 tanks a day for a track event 60-70 miles each way to LS or Infineon, plus two and half hours of track time.

30.5 mpg, on a 2 hour trip from gas station to a chicago hotel. Nearly all flat, no real hills. Travelled mostly between 55 and 60mph in PDK 7th till I hit the city....and before your tell me it's too slow for a 911, I'll mention it was raining cats and dogs. Not ashamed to admit I was scared of hydroplaning.

I got 30 once on flat road after about 20 miles of driving about 60-70. I have not been able to match that one. Usually get 27-28 on long drive.
