Do X50's burn substantially more fuel than a normal TT ?

I am going to assume "normal" driving in a 996 TT means a few spirts now and then to clean the cobwebs.
Of course at full throttle the X50 will consume more by its very nature.

I bought my car in Houston and drove back to central Ohio...On that trip I got 24.5 mpg and averaged 74 mph per my computer...stock X50. I have since flashed and exhaust and getting 16 mpg daily which is 9.5 miles in 17 minutes 5 or 6 lights.

I see on the Upsolute website they promise the same or better milage with their flash.

I have little information about the Upsolute product line. All I can tell you is that if you go to the poll that was conducted recently on which performance flash folks use, you'll find the most prominently used products displayed on a bar graph. I place more credibility with the folks who actually use the product as a customer and can comment on its performance than I do with the product propaganda put out by the manufacturer. I believe that the poll listed UMW, EPL, GIAC, and about half dozen others along with individual comments about who bought what and the benefits of each.

I think the right pedal must be sticking; my X50 daily driver is currently showing 15 mpg on the OBC for mixed driving, (I have been making shorter trips recently). I've seen as high as 20 on a trip up to Sebring (highway & fast roads)
