What's your fuel consumption?
 
I average 13-14 L/100km.... or 17-18 MPG... according to my gauge. I know that's not accurate compared to manually calculating my consumption over time, but how does that compare to the rest of you? Feel free to post your current gauge reading, I'm interested to know how we rank!

3.6L Carrera, no mods
Using 91 octane fuel
30% hwy/70% city driving
~100-125 (60-80 miles) per week
Light/spirited driving around town and on highway

Thanks!

avg. 12.1 (19 mpg), 70/30 highway/city, sunoco ultra 94.

As a daily driver (mostly freeway) the computer says 25.5 mpg

Mkaaes Apr 1, 2012 04:43 PM

09 C4S no mods, a paltry 18.6ish with a mix of freeway and locals

Volnomad Apr 1, 2012 06:09 PM

My '10 C4S is about the same as MKaaes, around 18 mpg, with a mix of highway and local driving.

18.3 MPG with a slightly heavy foot and 60/40 highway diving

Katera Apr 1, 2012 09:23 PM

15 mpg lately LOL. Love my car :)

Mine has been in the 18-21 range lately with a 50/50 city/highway mix.

06 S X51. shorter trips, awful traffic, and E10 conspire to keep me under 16mpg. My right foot is little help.

DS997c2s Apr 1, 2012 11:54 PM

I have been averaging 19.3 mpg with 85% hwy since the last reset about 6 weeks ago. It was 18.1 mpg before I reset.

997.2s are more efficient and 991s are further more efficient.

I used to be interested....now I don't worry about what I'm getting. Just fill it when empty and drive hard!! LOL

I'm at 15 too. I'm impressed with 12, that's some "light spirited" driving right there! I'd say 60/40 city/highway.

I don't know how you guys manage to get 18-20 with the sport button there, just move your right hand over about 6 inches and down a few. It's right there! just yelling "PRESS ME, PRESS ME, PRESS ME"

Although the computer says I average 25? Not sure what kind of math the ECU is doing but I get about 230 miles out of 15 gallons, 230/15=15.3 and it's been pretty consistent.

my roundabout when i drive my kid to school is cose to 20miles miles, i get 15-16mpg or so on the TRIP computer.
what you need to do to make sure your engine is fine ans there are no stuck valves - when you drive on 4th gear at 2.5-3K rpm, do a reset in the TRIP and your mpg should be set to somewhat 20-22 area when you are going steady a bit under 3k rpm.
if it shows something way lower like 15-16 it may mean valves issues.

I'm at 12-15 mpg (18 liter per 100km for the decimal crowd).

Heavy right foot and aftermarket turbo do not help the fuel economy, but they do make me smile day after day...
