Is there anything new on this issue? What's your fuel economy now?
Official Porsche GT3 Product Guide given to me by the dealer in Dubai says fuel tank is 90 liters. That's about 23.8 US Gallons

Btw, I also read somewhere that Porsche had spared weight by not providing an underbelly cover on the 997 GT3. Is that true? Because they provide it in this market. I saw it myself on a new car waiting to be delivered.
