MPG?

Not that it matters one way or the other, but I'd be curious to know what 997 folks have seen.

New vs. broken in
997 vs 997S
Tip vs 6 spd

Thanks

Re: MPG?

The good news is that fuel economy improves as the car is broken in. My numbers now are about 10% better than when new. Currently the car has 4000km

My average fuel economy on a combination city/highway is about 11.8L/100km. Reserve comes on after about 440km

Straight highway at 120km/h - 9.8L/100km

With sport mode on and driving in a spirited fashion, 15L/100km

Re: MPG?

1Gunner,

You are correct: It matters-NOT! What matters is not MPG (Miles Per Gallon)-or kilometers per liter, but instead MPH (Miles Per Hour) and MPD (Miles Per Day).

Re: MPG?

17,4 liters/100km. This is my average fuel consumption with 3200 kms. I did only 1000 kms break-in, and since then ,I have been driving the 997s very hard. I think fuel consumption is too high.( My average fuel consumption in my Boxster S was 14,2 liters/100 kms for 25,000 kms)

Re: MPG?

I'm about 27mpg on a long journey which I think is okay. Around town (which unfortunately is where I do most of my driving) I get more like 10-12mpg....
