What MPG are you getting
I asked this over on the 968uk site too and the concensus seems to be an average of around 25 MPG with 30 being seen on a good long run.
I seem to be down at 19 with mixed driving over various distances, what do you guys get and is there a problem I should look at to find the missing 6 MPG or is it just the size of my right boot ?

I haven't done any long distance trips, so I've never even come close to 30 MPG. Around town I get sub 20 MPG as well. I had attributed that to my wide feet, I can't imagine it being anything else.

I have seen maybe 22-25mpg when off boost but at best 12-15mpg when on boost. I run 52# injectors which are almost twice the size of factory 968 injectors so even at idle they flow a lot more fuel. Need to get custom burnt chips with dyno runs to get more mpg. Hopefully sometime in 2004.

Getting 20-22 normal mix around town. Got right around 27 mpg on the first drive home with the car a few weeks ago. That was cruise control driving at 75 - 80 mph. Overall, a bit better highway than my old '88 944 NA, roughly the same in city/mix. Not bad, considering the 968 is heavier and packs about 80 more hp!
