I'd love to know how you're getting that sort of mileage; on a country run this week I managed just on 29mpg (imperial) in my manual C2S. No spirited driving, a fair bit of freeways at 70-80mph so in 7th a lot of the time.

But 35mpg is pretty impressive! Early on in my ownership I averaged 32mpg between Cheltenham and Lincoln, with a couple of stops, but there was a LOT of 50mph average speed sections. I was also easing it in a little.
These days I'm pretty delighted to just get into the 20s!

35mpg (UK) is about 29mpg (US).
That aside, trundling around Lincolnshire on acroads behind lorries is 50mph and 35.4mpg.
On the motorways at 70-85 mph it rarely drops below 32mpg.
One fast cross Europe drive it dropped to 28mpg. That was quick. Lots of 100mph.
On Silverstone, over 3 hrs in a C2 I got 9mpg!
Thanks for the fuel and tyres Mr P.

Just wanted to say thank you all for your help with the options on my 992. Here's the final build: http://www.porsche-code.com/PM9EKL99
It's scheduled for production and now locked as of today. Should be getting it by end of March / early April. This is going to be the longest 3 months ever!
I will really miss my current 991.2. It was my first ever 911 and represents a special time in my life- - both the first truly expensive thing I ever bought myself and what I was driving when I got engaged in Napa...
