Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
If this is a dealer car, I'd take it back for them to sort -check over with a diagnostic may highlight some probs.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I have just sold a 02 3.6 litre facelift and would regularly get 22.5-23.5 to the gallon..I never saw it below 20mpg and got better on a long run as you can see from the link below;
http://mysite.freeserve.com/PW2002996c2
No real difference,if maybe a little more economical than previous 911 I owned.
ummm...I seem to be getting a lot less than this. I need the wheels balancing as the car shakes a lot over about 65mph, would this help fuel cosumption at all?
Anything else to look out for that maybe causing it to be overly thirsty? Any advice welcome.
...I agree - I get same mixed driving mpg (22/23) and on the motorway, about 28/29mpg cruising at 85mph, say.
Mine's a '99 C4, i.e. 3.4l engine. Oil consumption on my car is about 1 litre every 8k miles.
Soemthing's definitely wrong with your car's setup from the sound of things.
Do get the wheels balanced and alignment sorted. If this is a dealer car, I'd take it back for them to sort -check over with a diagnostic may highlight some probs.
If u r Surrey way, GT1 at Chertsey, 01932 569911/944 can do this.

There is no way I am going to sit in a traffic jam, one the hottest day of the year, on the A13, with the Roof up, just so I can stick the Air Con on..
And Vice Versa
Roof down, windows up, aircon on.

hi all, really enjoying the new motor (see previous post). couple of questions...what do others get to the gallon? I must admit to being in the first throws of lust and as a conseqence have been a little too enthusiastic with the old girl.....but she does seem to need her thirst quenching a little to regularly. When I do calm down and stop driving around like my arse is on fire (in the inimitable words... "I am a driving God!!"), has anyone got any tips for a good economical driving style?
Listen too me! How sad am I....I've had the car less than a week and I'm already talking about fuel economy!
PS. I'm going to stop referring to it as "her" now...I'm scaring myself :-)
