Default Miles per gallon on used Boxster S question?

I bought a used 2000 Boxster S with 32000 miles about 2 months ago. According from today freeway drive for 60 miles between 80-85 mph . I only got 22 miles per gallon. no traffic. Does this consider normal gas consumption??? My average city stop and go drive is about 15 miles per gallon. What do you guys think?

I think you should have bought a civic. Its a Porsche who cares about the mileage. My 01 gets about 8 miles to the gallon. I average 65 mph out of my garage. But seriously, 22-25 is about right. you could get a few more down around 65 mph. The sticker on mine said 26 mpg on highway at 55 mph.

Default As long as other 986s are digesting the gas like mine. I am cool about it. Thanks!

Yowza! My base model '99 averages about 24, with (75 mph) highway average about 27. In one stint on a trip to Florida we got 31.6.

Guess I need to be driving harder?!?!?

Yeah, but you have the more fuel efficient 2.5 model.
