My 718GT4 achieved 27.4 over a 640 mile round trip. Around town it’s much worse but on the highway it was impressive.
That included a couple “spirited on ramps”, and driving at the typical pace of traffic. (Posted limit is 70). I don't go much beyond everyone’s pace as I don’t want attention. And I get my real thrills on track
Most of my driving is highway at 70+ mph. My best mpg is 15.1. The avg is 13.8. The low is 10.5.

My last run in from the interior netted the Spyder 31.5 MPG, I never use ***/Cylinder Deactivation, ever.
Never EVER use ***/cylinder deactivation. It’s part of the pre flight checklist: OFF!
My cruise speed might be 10-12 over posted but obviously it varies. I never use cruise control.
Our 992 made the same trip and got over 31 mpg. Same situation (no ***, same speeds).
The route was across PA and back: mostly rolling hills. I think the highest elevation is around 3000 ft. Rather gentle climbs.

Seems like $50k+ ADM is the norm. Was very early on the list with a dealer and said I would get one but for $50k over, which I promptly passed on. Don't think this car is worth $220+k when ordering decent options. They could have really made wider fender/wheels, improved the strut suspension, better aero etc but didn't. Think the GT3 is the better "value".
AP said in the Top Gear video that the set of magnesium wheels save 10 kg over the base aluminum wheels. Very significant and should make PCCB brakes in combination give wonderful driving dynamics of steering response, acceleration, braking, ride quality. No one to my knowledge has given the weight reduction of the WP by itself. I guess if there is any saving it is very minimal since Race tex fabric will be glued over the top of the base instrument panel, and the cf air blades are added for WP. So these work against the weight that the cf mirrors, cf airducts, and cf air filter cover take away.
That strikes me as a bit odd. I would have thought that the mag wheels and Ti roll cage was lighter than the alloy wheels and chromoly cage. Same with the carbon boot lid and regular alu boot lid.

, so here is the conversion, still not bad?
