So I have just got back from a 120 mile round trip. About half was motorway and the other half B roads... on the way back I saw the MPG was quite good so ended up driving like Miss Daisy to see what I could get out of it.

Now I know MPG is not something I should be looking at when driving a 911 but I would be interested to know what people have actually got out of them.
 
I have a loud exhaust and am a child with no self control. I'm barely into the 20's :nooo:

On a long motor journey with cruise control set to 80mph, I can easily get 33mpg.

Go and see a doctor there is something wrong with you

On a trip from North East to Donington Circuit for the 911UK meet this year.......29.3 mpg :oops:

Although I will qualify it was a Saturday afternoon on a busy motorway (and had road-works)

On the way back on Sunday......20 mpg..... :roll: :grin:
 
For avoidance of doubt I normally am about 19/20.... don't want to get myself a reputation :D :D

What speed should he be doing then..... :hand:
 
I have always got 21mpg, no matter how I drive, sometimes 19! the gen2 should get better mpg though right? 27+ is pretty amazing from a gen1!
 
The OBC can be optimistic in its calculation method
 
I got the following coming back from the Netherlands on a quiet Sunday morning. Given that the cruising speed was well north of the average for most of the time I was pleasantly surprised by how well it did:
