I struggle to get above 22mpg, but as it is a toy rather than a regular drive, it tends to be used with vigour.

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.

15 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes actually 40.3mpg at an average speed of 36mph over my 45 mile commute from Luton to Woking my main journey was M1/M25 and generally cruised in at 50ish mph along with the thousands of other poor souls. Can any one beat that? I know its sad but i had no choice but to drive slowly

POST 2Original post

Yes I can beat it. I can get it all the way down to 11mpg going hard. You did mean beat lower didn't you Jeff

POST 3Original post

well even the Gt3 has got low-mid 30's mph on the motorway when in moderate traffic and the speed are no more than 60'ish

POST 4Original post

You should be ashamed of yourself :evil: I don't think even Scotty Boy can get it to those levels

POST 5Original post

How come GT3's can get low to mid 30's when I can get no better than 29mpg in the Targa? 40mpg is remarkable. ~ Maxie :?

POST 7Original post

My GT3 has done 22.8 average over 2600 miles - the 993 targa does 21.5. If you're getting 40mpg you should sell it and get a Prius.

POST 8Original post

I average around 24mpg with general driving. On a long motorway run it'll do around 33mpg. At least once a day I try to find a clear bit of safe road and give it some beans. Seems a waste not to!

POST 9Original post

I struggle to get above 22mpg, but as it is a toy rather than a regular drive, it tends to be used with vigour. I did once get 29mpg but that was when I drove it home for the first time after picking it up 200 miles away. 70 mph on the M5 and M6 didn't matter beause of the size of my grin :lol:

POST 10Original post

Proud to say I've never bettered 28 mpg from my C4 :lol: I think I would find another route to work if I had to go so slowly that I got that fuel consumption! (Or change jobs) - Might not get there any sooner, but it'd be a hell of a lot more fun through the lanes... :twisted:

POST 11Original post

Hasn't someone from here taken a picture of their MPG reading with a silly number of 110 mpg buy reseting the reading at the top of a hill and holding the clutch in on the way down? Motorway 30mpg for me, town driving 15mpg. Croatia rural roads driving 11 mpg.

POST 13Original post

Nope I can't beat that - had an average of 34.3mpg recently on an almost 1,000 mile journey in a week for work but all motorway and not much open road so very limited on the speed. Anyone beat my 18,800 miles on the tyres though :?: :!:

POST 14Original post

On the round trip to the 'ring of 1376 miles i averaged 24 mpg which included bringing it down to 14 mpg on the 'ring itself and a very fast thrash back to Calais. I have seen 9 mpg on the Indy circuit at Brands, :shock:

POST 15Original post

Gosh Scott, your Cab is heavier than my Targa and you get better than me! I just don't get it. But then why are we all complaining; if we wanted we could have all gotten ourselves Priuses or something....but still....... :shock: ~ Maxie
