Best I could find on DTC P0456, but I for sure ain't no mechanic. I looked at both links and can't quite figure out exactly what "system" they are complaining about. The EVAP I guess? The info at the link for this code says no other effects on performance, just the code is set if there's a small leak in the EVAP system.

The owner says he then measured the car's fuel efficiency and, according to his calculations, the 911 consistently gets about five miles per gallon less than advertised and never exceeds 20 mpg.
That being said if VAG wants to cut me a check like the Diesel guys got, be my guest.

I don't think I've ever averaged more than 14 mpg for a tank. And nobody has ever bought a Porsche (not even the SUVs) for their gas mileage. This definitely sounds like somebody trying to sue their way out of a payment they can't afford or they decided the don't want the car, etc.

This is my c4s since March. Even the turbo S should be in the high teens for mixed driving.
