what mpg do you get ?

2002 996 targa based on the computer (how accurate are they ?) i am getting 28.0 mpg mixed use around town as well as longer journeys up the M1 and A1 how does this compare ?

Thats way to high use it properly! [ ] On average I get about 24mpg. The car is only used for weekend use so tends to be 'enjoyable' driving. A real spitited drive it would see it drop into the high teens. Did a long motorway drive the other week and it returned 32-33mpg cruising at around 80 - bloomin good for a 180mph car IMO Eddie

Average for me is about 22mpg. A mix of going to work and having fun taking the long way home![ ]

Computer says 17 point something mpg nearly all the time, gets reset at most fill-ups (although I've had it up to 24mpg on long runs) It's a daliy drive and I suppose I never spare any of those 320 horses ;-)

99.9. In my dreams.

18.8...

Especially as they are US Gallons! For me, 22mpg average (used daily), but I have seen 30 on a long motorway run when I couldn't get much above 70. Worth mentioning that mine's a 3.4 tip - I would expect one or two more mpg from a manual.

Long term average 24.8 on the new engine. Managed 32 on a trip to York a couple of weeks ago but the motorway was pretty busy. As posted above, remarkable for a 180mph 4 wheel drive supercar!

80 miles to silverstone, 100 miles on the track, 80 miles home again. Averaged 24!! Love that car

Have only had the car around 3 months but am pleased to be getting around 28mpg according to the electronic wizardry. Considerably better than my previous car - a 964 - which gave around 23 per gallon.

Got 34mpg last week in a 32 mile round trip from Bromley Kent to Leytonstone via the south circular and the Blackwall Tunnel and managed just under 33mpg coming back from Cornwall at a computer avearge of 69mph. Wait for it In a GT3

Richard, I thought I was bad... you need to seek out the larger of the three pedals, on the floor, to the right hand side...

Around 22 for me, although I did get 30 on 100 mile mainly motorway run at around 80mph recently.

last 6,000 miles is 25.22, cunningly converted from my litres per 100K readout - South African spec car! 75% commuting into central London, 25% fun. By the way this is exactly the same as the 2.7 manual Boxster I had last, and 10% better than a Saab convertible before that. All the best Des

On 2048 mile trip to / from Norway last year, averaged 29mpg, despite keeping up a high average speed on the way back and an exploration to 260Km/h on a rare bit of not-too-busy-3-lane Autobahn.

I am managing 25.5mpg with mixed driving on a 3.6 tip if i feel the need i can get under 20. Before I reset it so the other half doesnt see

Can't you change it to mpg? On my C16 UK Spec there's the options to have l/100km mls/gal (USA) mpg(UK) km/l Via the lever go SET --> Consumption - and you get the 4 options above (Page 83/84 of the manual) With the given options I presumed it would be the same worldwide.

Des has a pre-facelift car, and you don't have any unit setting options in the OBC on the early instrument clusters.

Over a fast 1100 kms from Faro to Bilbao last week averaged 10.3 km/ltr, which works out at just over 29mpg. More economical than my diesel XC90 (although the fuel is slightly dearer). Biggest saving though, is it restricts the amount of shopping the wife can do whilst back in UK!!

Mine's about 27-28mpg on the motorway but can be horrific in traffic. I've often got 12-13mpg when I've spent a decent amount of stop-start traffic. Usually get about 16-17mpg when the traffic is more free flowing though.

yep when stationary mpg is pretty low ! [8D]

I think I managed about four kronenburg's an hour in le mans....[ ]

so how far did you get on them?

General running around gives me 24 to 25mpg. Motorway cruising at 3000rpm/80mph gives me 31mpg. Warp Factor 9 gives significantly less. [ ] By way of comparison, the Rangie gives 21 to 22mpg on petrol and 18 to 19mpg on LPG. Needless to say, it spends all but the first cold mile on LPG at 55p per litre. Warp Factor 9 remains something of a challenge although the book says it will do 130 and the Stig got an Overfinch around the TG track in 1 min 30 seconds!

I own a 996tt : daily usage, about 20ish miles commuting and city traffic ( well Docklands... ) averages me about 19-21 mpg ... Highway avgs about 26-28ish. 30-31 if I religiously stick to 60-65mph. I did a 17 days holiday in Continental Europe - 3500 miles, reset the BC before and with 12 days of autobahns and driving hard, I returned home with an average of the whole trip of 22mpg for 3500 miles. But I hit 190mph Few times...

I get about 28 when out and about. But then I also got over 20k out of a set of rear tyres[&o] The trip computers do over-read slightly, for what its worth.
