When going across country this past summer to Grand Rapids, MI and back, I set cruise to 95mph most of the way, and I got 23.5mpg.
Leading evidence: 'Set cruise' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check numbers' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

i could dim the dash, set the tme, reset the trip and swtch between miles and km but how do you get to the mpg setting?

I had cruise control set anywhere from 88-95mph on the way there for traffic, and 100mph on the way back.
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.

What's the best mileage any of you have ever achieved in a 996 C2?
I decided to try one day, and drove like grandma would: 31.4 mpg at freeway speed. I was surprised. Normal city traffic I get closer to 19 - 21 mpg.
Coincidentally, these are also the thirst 3 digits of pi.
Never drive that slow again...have some self-respect. There is an image to uphold here. I just drove from Daytona to Jacksonville with a pack of BMWs. Average speed was 95 and the Avg MPG was 26.
The only time I pay attention to gas or MPG is when it's time to get more. There are certain things I simply don't pay attention to in the Porsche, and fuel consumption is one of them.
My trip from San Diego to Vegas and back last night got me 23.1mpg. I had cruise control set anywhere from 88-95mph on the way there for traffic, and 100mph on the way back.
When going across country this past summer to Grand Rapids, MI and back, I set cruise to 95mph most of the way, and I got 23.5mpg. At 90mph, I get right around 25mpg.
I got a flat tire about 100 miles outside of my home. Had to put on the donut and drive all the way back at 55MPH. I averaged 30.9 MPG. Simply amazing that these are 30MPG cars.
how do you get the display to read out mpg? i could dim the dash, set the tme, reset the trip and swtch between miles and km but how do you get to the mpg setting? also when i turn on my car the ac turns on with he car, how do i turn that off? sorry for all the noob questions....
Try filling your tank and then zero out your odometer. Drive until your low gas light comes on then fill up and divide miles by # of gallons. That should be the accurate way to determine mileage. I don't rely on the computer to determine gas mileage.
The mileage on these cars seem very sensitive to how you drive 'em - much more so than other cars I've owned. I've gotten as high as 26 (mostly highway), and as low as 14 (around town) on a tank of gas.
Of course other factors come into play but it seems like if you're light on the throttle you'll get decent mileage, especially on the highway.

One afternoon, drove from Seattle to Anacortes, Wa -- about 75 miles freeway driving. Got 30mpg on the way to Anacortes & 29mpg on the way back. Confirmed through checking the numbers. I very much like having a degree of control over my fuel mileage. It doesn't bother me at all when I get less, but have more fun. But it's nice to be able to float along on cruise if I want and get really quite respectable mpg. It implies to me that the fuel injection is really dialed in--only giving the engine what it needs for the conditions.
After changing 3 of the 6 plugs (I know, I'm slack), I drove 230 miles in the Interstate and averaged 26 mpg. That's my best ever and I was averaging 80 mph.
Still have to order/replace at least 1 spark plug boot and the other 3 plugs that are going to be BEARS! I was amazed to see the 26 mpg. Best before that was 24 mpg on the same route a few months back.
