...you can drive a gas-sipping GT3!!!

Not with the my foot mashes the pedal when I drive mine. Don't know how you drive it that way.... I like it in the 6-9K Revs

Mike in CA

Coasting downhill?

<3mph

Exactly, Mike! Happened on the way back from Whistler to Squamish today, which is essentially downhill with limited opportunities to pass. Once we passed 25 mpg I decided to try to see how high we could get!!! I was really shocked at the result. Especially because it was averaged over a distance of 50 km.

sccchiii

Ask for a refund of your "gas guzzler tax"!

Whoops looks like you didn't have one from your location....damn USA only??? I'm sending this to my congressional rep

<3mph

Haha, yes, we have expensive gas and a weak dollar here in Canada, so we have to conserve!! (although not as pricey as Europe)

Interesting. speed km/h but consumption mpg

That's the only way I would get that kind of mileage. As soon as a hill came up it would drop like a rock to 20.

<3mph

Because the 29+ was averaged over 50 km, the next hill made little difference. I notice the same as you on short trips.

Yep. I find the metric units for fuel consumption less intuitive. So I changed that one parameter. Some of us Canadians still think using certain imperial measurements!

My best : 8.9L/100 or 32MPG.
Driving on twisty roads and some towns, at maximum allowed speed.

I thought it was just me but I have been finding this car to be very frugal on gas if driven sensibly. It seems to be getting better mileage than my wife's Macan S which is a Turbo 3.0L

My GTR could go even lower (8L/100 and less), but when the gas pedal was pressed the consumption was "exponential".
With the 991GT3 it seems to have a "high" consumption from start but doesn't variate "that much" when you increase the pace.

Even on track, the fuel consumption is "low" : you can run for more than 1h on track with a 90L fuel tank. At my knowledge there is no other car that can do the same at this level of performance.

This characteristic may be quite optional for most of owner, but for me who daily drive the car and enjoy extended session on track, this is just perfect!

And our gallons are 4.54l vs the US being 3.86l
Wonder what Porsche uses. different for different markets would be the right way.
So Canada should be closer to mother England or not?
Better go metric all the way, less confusion.

^I assumed this was the US gallon. Should be easy to figure out next time I drive the car.

<3mph

^^If it really is US gallons (as I assumed), then 29.1 mpg = 8.08 L/100km!!
