longer trips, using the coasting feature on the downhill sections, I get mid-20s,
sometimes as high as 26.

It's a 3.6 in a 4400 lb. vehicle, so fuel economy is not necessarily its strong suit.

As always, YMMV...

Your gallons are different than ours - 3.7litres v 4.54litres.

Porsche Owners Club meeting at Duxford tomorrow so will see what that journey yields and perhaps report back.
if running in you are a Gen 2 2.9 lit turbo, I suspect most of the others reporting here are 3.6 lit Gen 1's?
The consumption sounds correct, similar to my own experience albeit in a 3.6 but I don’t believe the new 2.9 is any more fuel efficient and you are carrying a extra 20kg by way of the GPF 🤒
