there are at least a couple of different fuel tank sizes for these cars. It makes a lot more sense to talk about miles per gallon on a tank, in my opinion.

With cruise control at around 65 - 75mph, in moderate traffic, I can get 19 - 21mpg (US) for a commute, in comfort. My actual average over thousands of miles is 15mpg though. But this is a Turbo S.

I routinely get 28 mpg driving a 750 mile trip on interstate I-75. Average speed ~75 mph in open areas using cruise control most of the time.

I get insanely good highway mileage in my turbo, 8L/100 Km or 35 miles to the gallon. Around town not so much

I don't see how that is possible on a flat surface, even at lower than freeway speeds. I suspect a conversion error.

My '13 GTS gets 26-27 mpg cruising on the freeway, maybe 28 if I keep the speed down. With a 26 gallon tank that's around 650 miles per tank.

I live in the lowlands of South Carolina (one of the flattest places in the US) and there are stretches on the highway with cruise control on 65 mph I get 37 mpg. That is with a 2010 turbo modded to over 600 hp. Around town with stop and go traffic I average 16 mpg.
Even at higher speeds and getting on the throttle a lot, I still get 24-28 mpg on the highway.

That sounds right. I'm at 600hp and get no more than 16mpg - granted never drive it on the interstate since it's not a daily driver.

Thats what the car is telling me. I recalculated my best and it was 30 Mpg (not 35) At one point of a long trip my dash said I could do 1000 km after I filled up.

I get about the same with a '13 S. 26-28 depending on speed, hills, wind, etc. But I must have a smaller tank - I think mine is a 20 gal so more like 450ish for me.
I can do a trip to the wine country or as far as Pismo to the south, drive around for a few days and get back home on one tank. That's from the silicon valley area.

I drove my PTT over 670 miles, had tad under quarter left.
So assume az bout 750 miles on 26.4 gal tank.
Works out to about 28mpg, which is what I saw on trip meter.
This was mix of normal (qbout 3/4 of it), sport, sport plus (maybe 30 mins of it).
Super impressed. My CTT about 15mpg on lucky day.
