Typical MPG?
Hey fellow 997.1 C2S owners what have you guys seen as typical mpg around town and freeway? I just got back from a mostly freeway trip and the computer said I was averaging 17.9 mpg. Does this sound pretty typical?

Many threads about this. Try a search. Here're a couple where the OP was asking about 997.1Ss:

I'm at around 15.8 combined - mostly spend my time in-town-ish. Probably 65%/35%.

Did you reset the computer trip mileage to zero at your last fill-up? Try it again but do it manually this time. I have 2008 turbo and consistently get 21+ with freeway driving.

16mpg driving between SF and Marin and lots of errands at each end with zero effort to conserve gas.
For reference in the same conditions:
10mpg 2008 G500
15mpg 2008 GL450
19mpg 2002 330i
29mpg 2008 Civic Hybrid

Auto transmissions get better MPG and if you are not a hurry it upshifts quickly to keep RPM's low for better gas mileage. I have a manual and routinely shift at 4000-4500 RPM for normal driving thus get around 16 MPG mostly city driving. Best highway miles for me has been 21 MPG.
