At nearly 3 week old and only 1500 miles, I average 20.7 around town.

I would say 1200 of these miles are backroads testing out the "grip" of rear tires and suspension................and I am driving aggressively. When I do, I am getting somewhere around 16.7 mpg.

My average speed through 1500 miles is a whopping 39 mph. I try to stay off the big straight roads!!!!!

I have reason to believe that in a '05 C2S cab with the top down driving at a consistant 85-90 on a highway - note: I'm not admitting to driving a consistant 85-90 - will have an average of 24.8.

usual disclaimers apply: professional driver, closed course, YMMV, not valid in NY, NJ or for any non-resident Yankees fans.

Interesting that the PCM Trip module allows for separate readings/settings of “continuous” and “on board computer” for the 997, but not on the Cayenne.

When I saw the Cayenne PCM screen posting, I checked ours. I can set two independently on the Carrera, but not on the Pepper.

Wonder why? Or, am I missing something obvious?

1500 total miles, about 50% highway. The last 600 miles - only 15.6 mpg. How are you guys getting anywhere near 20mpg? I do drive a little "aggressively" but have stayed under 4200 rpm which more clearly defines the relative level of aggressiveness.

Just turnes 1000 miles, have not broken 17MPG.

I just finished breakin and averaged 20.9mpg. I expect it will be down hill from here......

MPG varies widely depending on how the car is driven. Lately, I'm stuck doing almost entirely stop-and-go trips on surface roads and get about 14mpg or slightly less. My last road trip to Atlanta I was getting a little over 25mpg while doing politically incorrect speeds.

Just about 1200 miles. 17.3 is what the screen says.

I have 3k on her, and the tripmeter says 14,5mpg. Have to check "continous" mode but do not think it will be much better.. 50:50 open road and in town. I do have a heavier than usual right foot possibly. Then again, looking at the responses, possibly not

9000 miles. Average speed 37. MPG 20.4. Get 26mpg at steady 75mph.


2006 Carrera 4

9974G

I have a base C2, not a C2S...so I didn't vote. But, for reference:

15.9MPG over 5100 miles (I never reset continuous since buying the car new a year ago). Average speed for the 5100 miles is 34mph.

I have no idea how some people get 20mph...let alone higher than that. I guess I'm having too much fun (but my wallet hates it).

My thoughts exactly.

I have a 05 C2 as well. On cruise control, for 50 miles or so, I can get up to 28-29 MPG, Boston to Hartford. Around town, 19.5 to 21.0. During Auto Cross, 16-19. By the time I get home from Auto Cross, it usually averages out 19-21. I actually got a bit better before the ECU upgrade, the headers, and the Evo airfilter.

The winter tires seem to lose about 1-2 MPG, but it may just be the cold starts.

If I cruise at 50 to 70 from Santa Cruz over 17 to Menlo Park, I can get as high as 25.5.

At a track day I got 12 mpg !
