Since I havent reset the avg mpg over 2100 miles since delivery Im at 13.4. Metro NY some limited highway a bit of traffic , probably teh biggest issue is that burning clutch smell when i get home

Anyone else have their number

 

I was surprised to find the car has no way of showing instantaneous mpg or even some sort of "efficiency" display. Anyway, I reset the average at about 2K miles with a pretty dismal 15 mpg +/- displayed. Since then I've reset it with numbers ranging from a one day 5 mpg (that's about $50 to top up the tank, then about 40 miles to bring on the "consider range" notice) to a one day 18 mpg and no idea of what "pulse and glide" Prius driving it would take to get over 20 mpg. I just checked the "consumption" display, which reports 15.0 mpg for the last 151 miles. Those were some relaxed, almost lethargic miles, so I just can't imagine getting anywhere near the claimed efficiency. BTW, the car is an S with PDK. Tire pressures usually at the "comfort" setting.

 

With a 3.4l 7sp MT I am seeing 22 in mixed driving (80% city 20% highway) and about 28 on the highway at sppeds near 80 mph average.

 

with my 991s I'm seeing 21 in my daily commute and 29 on a 1200 mile+ trip to Orlando and back

 

26-28 mpg with mixed driving (including low-traffic city/suburban and country/hills cruising).

 

Re mileage display display- in the "Car" mode in the Nav there are three screens- one of which includes real time instantaneous mileage. Another offers several trip options.

Best to read the manual and/or play with it while parked, as there is enough information there in a slightly strange interface to get you into an accident exploring while driving.

 

Not that I care all that much about mileage but on a 460-mile jaunt to Minneapolis I saw just over 30 mpg at a steady 80 mph in my PDK S. Return trip clocked 29 mpg. I consider the mileage just a nice bonus. Fewer gas stops along the way. Yea!

 

Read the what? : ) I tried every screen in the instrument display, but I can't say I was as thorough with the PCM display (it didn't occur to me they'd put a "heads up" display like instantaneous mpg in the pcm display and not in the instrument display.) I guess I need to go searching.

I also tried to get the "tilt mirror when reversing" thing to work (it's there in the PCM menus) but it just ignores the setting -- the mirror never moves.

While this car has Sport Chrono, I think the absence of premium packages and things like seat memory (I'm still astonished to think Porsche would build a $100K car and omit seat/mirror memory as an "option"...) has some impact on available menus. It's absurd how they've created three tiers of tree menus instead of one list of everything (after all, it's only about 20 or 30 items all up.)

 

Yavol. The German approach to options is exceeded only by their approach to computer interfaces. If they didn't do sport cars so damn well I'd have a Vette or a GTR on performance/price or interface design grounds. For a daily sedan thats why I have and Infiniti G.

 

ANY MILEAGE IN THE 20'S DOES NOT SOUND LIKE FUN DRIVING....
MY $0.02

 

I'm getting 24 at 95

Look forward to seeing what get at 115 up to Jackson this summer
Turbo s got 18 some expecting 21
