Best on highway trips was 22.5. Top down doesn't help..... but it's well worth it

20 MPG all day long...city/highway

24 if i'm lucky
Who really cares anyway apart from the greenies.

Nuff

I typically average between 21 to 23 mpg. My commute is about 75% highway.

I exercised my patience while running this experiment of very light foot on highway for 2 weeks.
I deliberately drove my 993 and Golf 1.6 at 50 mph and got 32.8 mpg on the 993 and
42.5 mpg on Golf 1.6. Numbers were quite good, but I have run out of my patience.
I can never drive this way again.

Worst tank was 16 mpg in "spirited" driving around the local twisties. The Best tank was 27 mpg on a road trip of mostly highway miles. Normal is about 21-22 mpg in mixed driving.

Thanks to all who responded!

Daily driving on the village streets....23 average.....Interstate highway run of some 150 miles......near 30 mpg. Not the first time either.

Funny thing. Any other car I've owned I could have told you immediately. For the 993 I've never bothered to check. If it needs filling up I fill it up. I enjoy the drive so much I never thought to count the cost. Really and that's the truth.

Looks like I'm right on par with others. 20mpg or just a tick under on my DD with 50% stoplights and freeway. I haven't taken a trip in it in a long while, but I know if I just drive two or three extra days on a given tank with extra freeway (like going down to my folks who are about 45 miles away), the MPG climbs to 22-24. I could imagine a steady trip of all hwy would yield 25+

I just drove my new '96 C2 home from Salt Lake City and got 24 m.p.g.(U.S.) at a steady 81 mph.

This is my first Porsche, and I was very happy with this number.

I get more smiles to the gallon than any other car I have had

On a 1400 mile trip I got 26mpg...went between 70-80 most of the way.

Not sure about city or spirited driving but it's certainly not worse than my truck.

Just did LA to Monterey and back this weekend and got 26 mpg running 70-80 mph.

Analog Theory

I rarely fill mine past 1/2 unless I'm planning an extended highway drive but can tell you with certainty I'm getting less than 20mpg based on full time spirited driving which is exactly what these cars like...to be light and well exercised! I paid $4.67/gallon for Chevron 91 not two hours ago in Del Mar, CA. It's really starting to sting....but I'm just not capable of balloon footing around "off song" so to speak.
