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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thought I'd try a top gear style fuel consumption challenge on the way to work today. For 50 miles I kept the speed around 65mph on the M23/M25 and through the dartford crossing, with the roof up and the air con off. I was quite surprised to get 38.2mpg. Normally I get 22 😜

POST 2Original post

Blimey, when you do that? 3am?[ ] Good result though.

POST 3Original post

I average 31.4 MPH over all sorts of lengths of trips.[ ] Better than my 3.0ltr SC which did about 22 MPH regardless!

POST 4Original post

Best I've had from my 4S is 34 mpg but that was when I first bought it & was pretty light footed..... However on a recent trip to Europe covering 2100 miles, with extremely varying conditions it was 29.7 mpg & yes it did include some 3 digit mph readings on speedo..... [ ]

POST 5Original post

So how accurate is the readout Surely you need to fill the car up do a reasonable mileage and read it out again

POST 6Original post

Who cares if it makes us feel that the return is being good for our pockets...... [ ][ ]

POST 7Original post

Just been over to Coninsby from Shrewsbury to watch the 2 Lancasters take off for the Air Shows in the South of England did almost exactly 300 miles took about 6 1/2 hours All types of different roads - no motorways. Filed up before we went and when we got back - Average mileage 24 to the gallon Car is a 3.4 2001 4S Bit better than the Lancaster with uses a gallon a minute ON TAXING per minute per engine!!!

POST 8Original post

I've been told by a porsche specialist mechanic that using the higher RON 98 fuels give you more MPG over say 95

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

You can get more in the boot of the Lanc though 😜

POST 10Original post

True, but i bets it's murder trying to park it anywhere[ ]

POST 11Original post

Luggage is a Bit more explosive in the Lanc if you cant park just clear somewhere with a tallboy

POST 12Original post

There is supposed to be a big difference between the 3.4 and the 3.6 Normally aspirated So is it worth mentioning which model you have

POST 14 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It's in my signature. I've got a 2002 996.2 3.6 cabriolet.

POST 15Original post
