Default MPG - real life numbers

Hi. I have noticing that I run about 17mpg on an average, I do drive a lot, mixed highway and city. Just curios if it's within normal limits. Seems like I'm filling up almost every 3-4 days

That sounds right. To achieve higher mileage you need long freeway runs at reasonably constant speed (below 80MPH).

I have a 2006 C2S with 36k miles...

1. I average 12mpg driving strictly in SF city traffic
2. If I drive primarily on the highway I'll get ~22mpg
2. Mix of city/hwy driving gets me ~17mpg

Same here. I've been tracking it with the Fuel Buddy app. In the time I've been tracking, I have done 27 fill-ups, and averaged 17.24 mpg. The car is a daily driver and I do mostly city, with some highway mixed in.

Car is a 09 Targa 4S, and I'm in California, which limits me to 91 octane gas. I believe I would probably have slightly better gas mileage if I were allowed to run 93 octane.

I make frequent trips from Huntsville to Atlanta (250 miles) each way. It is the only time I really track my milage. It is a mix of two lane roads and highway. In my 86 911 I get 24-26 Mpg and in my 997.2 C2S I get 26-27.5 Mpg.

I'm about 15mpg US (15.4L /100km) or 18mpg UK.

Lots of stop-and-go...

Mid 20s on long road trips in normal mode. How outrageous is that for such a great sports car!
20 mpg mixed usage. Extensive use of the Sport Plus mode, MPGs go down, smiles go up.
