27 MPG

I'am on a road trip across the US.
The car is wonderful to drive long distances and is just about run-in.
Todays stint was 567mi with an overall average of 27mpg

Re: 27 MPG

I hope you did not drive it at a constant 2kRPM for hours on end - it would not be a good break-in.

Re: 27 MPG

exactly what I was thinking..... Also, does that include a fill-up. Dont think it would be possible to achieve that on one tank full.

Re: 27 MPG

As I recall, during break-in, I had to vary the speed constantly which was good for only 19 mpg. Even today, at 3500 miles, the best I have achieved has been 22 mpg.

Re: 27 MPG

My car has 3,500 miles on the odometer, and I averaged 26.5 MPG on a 130-mile trip this weekend. Pretty good mileage, IMHO.

Yes, but you probably kept it mostly around 2000 RPM in 6th gear. I did a 1-day 420-mile trip in Northern California (no triple digit speeds but spirited curvy road driving) and I averaged under 20mpg and consider that pretty normal. I think I never used 6th gear and seldom 5th

In any case, back OT... long road trip stints at constant 2kRPM is not the way to break-in an engine and especially a Porsche engine.

Re: 27 MPG

In my most conservative efforts I can't get more then 17 mpg out of my S. Could something be wrong with my car??

Re: 27 MPG

I recently did a 400 mile RT and averaged 26.5 on the return. Trip was all interstate and RPM's were on average around 3000 to 3300.

Re: 27 MPG

I made a 250 mile round trip to rural Ohio a few days ago in my 996TT X50 and got 23 mpg.
