997.1RS fuel mileage?
Currently driving across florida and im showig half tank showing only 98 miles traveled since i filled up.
Does this seem a little strange?
Would this be correct range on the 60L fuel tank?

How fast are you going? Do you have a R&P?
Seems low for normal street driving, but there could be a number of factors that effect the fuel mileage.

You should have used around 4 gallons traveling at normal highway speed around 2500 rpm...just cruising.
You tank is just shy of 16 gallons correct? If so you should have used around 1/4 of a tank.

Yeah, seems low to me. I've gotten just shy of 13mpg overall in mine, 15.75 if you don't count track days. Highway cruising in the mid-20s.

Thxs guys.
Guage is more decieving then i remembered.
210 miles so far with quarter tank remaining. DTE claims 90 miles to empty which should be about right?
Either way, i made it to Orbit Racing.

Tommy, your new tank has 17.7gal, slow down. Refuel and whatever amount took you to fuel up is what you have used in the 98 miles, then divide 98 by number of gallons used to refuel, and that's your average.
