    help: gas mileage

    I have 2004 Cayenne S and the computer always says 10mpg wherever I am, highway or city.

    I also have to fill in the gas after 160miles (city driving) or 180-200 miles (city+highway). When I say refill means when the thing beeps and its around 20 gallons. Is it meant to take this much gas?

    Re: help: gas mileage

    Deetz if you are over a couple of thousand miles, you have a problem. even if all you did was drive around Cambridge Circle you should get more that that.

    Even driving in manual mode the lowest I can get is 13.8, mostly 14.9 average mpg, on the freeway even at high speeds I get 17.5.

    Take it in.

    Re: help: gas mileage

    Is it possible that your computer always shows a burn of 10 mpg because you don't reset it after every fill up or before any run you care to measure ?

    I always reset it to 0 so I can find out about the gas consumption. Any other clue?
