mpg
What's the best mileage any of you have ever achieved in a 996 C2?
I decided to try one day, and drove like grandma would: 31.4 mpg at freeway speed. I was surprised. Normal city traffic I get closer to 19 - 21 mpg.
Coincidentally, these are also the thirst 3 digits of pi.

My trip from San Diego to Vegas and back last night got me 23.1mpg. I had cruise control set anywhere from 88-95mph on the way there for traffic, and 100mph on the way back.
When going across country this past summer to Grand Rapids, MI and back, I set cruise to 95mph most of the way, and I got 23.5mpg. At 90mph, I get right around 25mpg.

Try filling your tank and then zero out your odometer. Drive until your low gas light comes on then fill up and divide miles by # of gallons. That should be the accurate way to determine mileage. I don't rely on the computer to determine gas mileage.
