Just wondering what your observed fuel economy is on your Porsche.

For the Turbo coupe, the official # from Porsche N.A. is 15 city/22 hwy.

I haven't really measured the difference between city vs. hwy, but my trip computer has been pegged steadily at 17.3mpg for the past 5,000+ miles.

How does this compare to others?

10.9 on mine!!! SUX!!!

Last tankful - 17.8 mpg combined city and 10 mile highway commute. I did see as high as 26 mpg on long cruises at 80 mph with the cruise control set.

Considering the weight and performance of these cars, I think it's pretty reasonable.

Cheers,

Mansour,

Do you think that's because of your mods, or do you just drive ***** to the wall all the time?

As you can imagine, it depends greatly on how you drive...
My worst (best? ) for a full tank was 8.5 mpg.

Im not sure how this thing measures MPG....most of my driving is in the city but even after a 40 mile highway drive the thing reads the same....think it may have a problem...

How the heck are you guys driving to get such bad mileage? If I drive as crazy as I can (doing my best to avoid being caught), my worst mileage is around 13-14 mpg!!

Pegged at 17.5 for last 3 weeks since reset. Mixture of town and highway. When in town only drops to 16.4 mpg.

gaxor - how do you reset??

I get 5-6mpg on the track and average around 12-13mpg on the street.....on a long long cruising I have seen as high as 22mpg.

18.5 - 20.5 on the street/

16.3 average for last 5000 miles, combination of around town and limited hwy driving.

Average on my 03 X 50 is 16-18 on a 30 minute commute to work (about 35 - 40 miles (mainly 3rd and 5th gear)) and worst track mileage was 6.32
