alank Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 since getting my boxster S i have suspected it is not that bad on fuel. Today i was out in it and was doing 55 for a while, having reset MPG average to zero at start , and was surprised to see a constant 39 mpg at that speed. I dont make a habit of 55mph, but it was surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj225 Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Yup. mentioned it a few times, but I've had over 43 mpg on a long journey in my 2.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedgy Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 My brim to brim 987 gen 1 2.7 manual averages 25mpg over mixed Motorway and A roads, with little town traffic.. Daily commute is 28 mile round trip not that much heavy traffic either...im bummed i was hoping for near as damn it 30mpg average....i keep considering a remap to try and up the mpg average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BartyB Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 The best I've ever managed in my 'S' was 42 mpg on a run from Burford to Exeter in the summer about 4 years ago. The traffic was relatively light and it was non-stop driving. Average speed over the whole journey was 54 mph. I've found it's fairly easy to get 34/35 mpg from a well maintained 986 'S' if you're not too heavy with your right foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotcoles Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Just done Yorkshire to Dunfries and Galloway in my S and got 34.9. The A1 and a66 were both shocking for queuing traffic and there was some 'careful excitement' on the a75 so I was pleasantly surprised! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason986S Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 On a long motorway run I'll get 23mpg. Around town mid teens. Definitely didn't buy it to be a motorway mile munching MPG delight. I would be fine with it doing 10mpg all day long to be fair. I have a Passat for 60mpg bores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldboy 63 Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Did blackbush meet round trip 225miles mix of motorway A and B roads,computer saying 32.5 mpg that's for a 911 C4 and at times not hanging around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMacdonald Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 The in-car reading has always been optimistic compared to brim-to-brim calculations but my old 2.7 will happily report 40-43 and actually return 36-38 on a long cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickeyTattoo Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 got to around 30mpg on the motorway averaging 70-80mph lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BartyB Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 On the other hand I can achieve 11 mpg on a 25 minute track session at an average speed of just under 80 mph without trying too hard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon61 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Haha, I was a tad surprised to see that I averaged 13mpg on a brisk-ish drive from Bormio to the top of the Stelvio Pass back in June - a bit lower than my typical mpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxstercol Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 I always get over 30mpg on any tank full of fuel - 987 3.2S, but dont really drive it that hard. Helps that most of my journeys are a minimum of 20 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr96er Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 On JT's Northern run I had a 100 miles of cruising there and back on the A1 combined with 200 miles of "spirited driving" in the countryside. Averaged 30 mpg out of 9.8 gallons. Very happy with that. Smooth driving is the key, right JT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliveH Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Funnily enough, I was chatting to @Loz987 and the owner of the 981 GTS whose name escapes me when we stopped for lunch during JT's northern run at the weekend and I honestly had no idea what my fuel consumption was, which I believed to be low 20s. Having set the trip on the drive back from the Lake District, I got 28.2 on a 137 mile drive averaging 62mph so I'm happy with that. On an urban trip out yesterday it was 22.4 on an 8 mile journey averaging 23mph. I'm sure I could squeeze over 30mpg if I tried but that's not what these cars are about, is it?

RBD914 v2 Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Yes, as the owner of the GTS you refer to I can confirm I was getting 23mpg on that spirited run! Normal driving will return 30mpg though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
