Over the course of 11k miles, average= hi teens, low 20s city/commuting; 25-29 highway, have pushed it down to 15 in cold weather fooling around.

I'm not looking for ranges just what the display says now. Obviously you reset it frequently- unlike the 997.2 i dont think theres a measurement dynamically (in the trip menu)as well as long term consumption

Have you guys done the calculations for yourself? Or in another way, how accurate do you find the computer to be? All my bmw's have been terribly inaccurate.

There are options for looking at and resetting the mileage (dynamic and static) in the display. I checked against manual calc (eg when filling the tank, doing the division) for a while fter I first got the car, and after learning how good it was have stopped looking. Don't want to risk spoiling a good thing - my satisfaction!

I get ~14-16 in the city in my C2S. I don't really care how low the mileage, if I did, I would have bought a hybrid.

My car runs on petrol, not gas

The range is superb. I got 408 miles on the motorway (freeway) which is superb IMHO !!

Well, the lowest it will report is 9mpg. Even if the actual consumption is less. She is a thirsty one at the track!

25 mpg average over 13100 miles.
30-32 mpg highway
22-25 city

noticed slight decrease in mileage with cold weather, slight decrease with a/c in hot weather

In cold weather the first mile shows 9 mpg.

I use a PENFED credit card. 5% off all gas purchases no limit.

Feel lucky, in Vancouver we pay equivalent of $6 for a US gallon!
