New to Porsche and just wondering what everyone is getting for gas mileage in their 991.2. I just purchased one and am using it as a DD. I have noticed that I am getting in the mid-teens...and I am not even driving in sport mode. I drove home this evening in the most fuel efficient way possible and got 20mpg. Obviously I didn't purchase this car to get good MPG. I just had heard that people were getting really good MPG, so I just wanted to make sure something isn't wrong with mine. Again, I plan to drive this in Sport mode most of the time, but just wanted to get a baseline. Thanks everyone! Oh and if anyone is wondering...happiest I have EVER been driving a car!! Just a perfect fit for me! I love it!

My 991.2 C2 is my DD, and I commute about 30 miles every day in Los Angeles traffic.

23 mpg on this tank so far as shown in my trip computer.

Cool thanks. Do you drive in normal mode mostly?

I go grandpa on it for my commutes.. no hard accel/decel, enjoying the smooth ride while I try not to kill myself thinking about the traffic.

Averaging 19 over all. Mix of mostly short trips with a few longer ones occasionally. I note mid 20s on longer trips but not at economical speeds. It's a manual and I tend not to be in the highest gear possible.

Mostly freeway=middle 20’s. Glorious n/cal backroads in S mode with paddle shifting =19. Looong trip w auto stop/start activated and cruise on and staying under 90=31. Yup! Love this car.

Who cares? I have a P-car to haul *****. Not too worried about gas consumption

Obviously the four posters above you, but there's always at least one of you who try to derail a thread about MPG.

Just to add a comparison datapoint, I commute about 30 miles in LA traffic (northbound 405 from the South Bay to about the 105) and I get anywhere from 17-20 mpg in heavy traffic on a 991.1 C2S. Seems like there are definitely some gains in the 991.2.

For me, absolute mpg is not important but I do like the range it gives you.

I’ve done a familiar route of c.30 miles, mixed town and country, in both my 991.2 GTS and daily driver. The diesel gets around 40mpg but the 911 is 30-32, which I think is pretty good - 400 mile range if you really need it.

Of course, as soon as you get enthusiastic, that drops markedly. If you’re on the brakes a lot, that energy has to come from somewhere...

I do a lot of Illinois Tollway driving around Chicago, average speed in the 'Hammer Lane' when traffic is flowing in 84mph.
My 991.2 C4S regularly gets 27mpg, PDK ACC.
I just set the ACC to 95 and find some 'Rabbit' to follow.
If speed is 65 mph, I regularly get 29 mpg.
Road America 7mpg. Sport Plus.-Richard

991.2 X51 MT. Almost always in sport mode. Averaged just under 28 to Treffen Asheville, drives and back (~1500 miles total). Short drives around town low 20s.
Haven't done a DE yet but would imagine high single digits/low teens at best.

CSK 911 C4S

On nice long trips 27-28 mpg ..... get around 400 miles on a tank.

Back road cruising I'm lucky to get 17 mpg.

991.1 C4S

I have got as good as 29 on highway drones.
And less than 10 on the track

Re your mpg, stat and stop traffic, as well as going up and down hills kills mpg.
(the up part is worse)

No, not trying to derail anything buddy. I bought my Porsche to have fun in it. The mpg in the car, the way I drive it, is abysmal, but I could care less as I bought the car for spirited driving, not to worry about mpg. IF I wanted to get good mpg, and drove the car to achieve that, then my goal of fun will not be achieved. And if the latter was the case I personally never would have bought a 911 to begin with. If you want to know my normal mpg it’s probably 15-16, so there you have it.

Lighten up a little, many times there are people who have an entirely different opinion on a thread subject than what was originally posed. Absolutely no attempt to derail, just posing a different point of view.
