The best bit about Fuely is the Viz-style "top tips" section for saving fuel. Ranges from comedic to just stupid :)

My S does around 23mpg on average, with a mix of urban and dual carriageway cruising.

OK (and is that indicated or true?), but I was really interested in any pointers for the new one, which - it would be nice to think - might be at least 2-3mpg (maybe a little bit more?) more economical than the old one. I guess it's perhaps too early for anyone to have much hands-on experience (have any even been delivered yet?) but someone here might have some insights into potential mpg.

Where do you guys buy fuel in gallons?
Where I live it's all in Litres.

:) Problem is that distance is still measured in miles (and right now is probably not the best time to change that for better conformity with Europe). So the only logical option would be to invent yet another measure, eg litres/100 miles. Simplest just to stick with what everyone knows and loves and instinctively understands, ie mpg.

WLTP combined for the new 3l seems to be quoted at around 33mpg. Let's say WLTP is likely still to be 20% too optimistic which might give an overall real-world average of say 26mpg (or maybe 28mpg indicated). Of course it depends on journey length, driving style etc etc yawn etc.

But for someone without too heavy a right foot and a mix of longer and shorter journeys, what the the prospects of achieving 25+ mpg real-world? Tricky to answer I know, but opinions welcome.
Can’t speak for the new Macan 3.0 engine, but I do have a Porsche with a different 3.0 engine. ;) I generally get an indicated 29-30mpg, so I’d be disappointed if you didn’t get that from a facelift Macan S. 25+ mpg in the real world should be eminently achievable, in my view. :geek:

On my Macan S, I am hoping for 25 mpg on local trips and up to about 35 on longer motorway/ dual carriageway runs. WLTP is meant to be more accurate but Porsche has yet to put final figures for either car on the website
I owned a 2017 Panamera 4 with the 3.0 engine for a year and covered 17,000 miles in it.

I achieved an indicated 28-30mpg, but the Panamera is a bigger car than the Macan, so I think your hoped-for figures are realistic, depending on how heavy your right foot is! ;)

See my figures above for my 3.0 911 Carrera T (and I don’t generally hang about). :)

30 mpg would be game changer for me. I av that in the SD, indicated.

In mixed driving I wouldn’t expect better than 27-28mpg from the new S. If WingCo is achieving 29-30 mpg on a car 600kg lighter (albeit a different engine) then I can’t see that will be replicated in a 2 tonne SUV
