This always amazes me that a 190+ Mph car can be so fuel efficient

Never seen anything like this in the Macan !

I’ve only seen more than 30 mpg on my 992 a couple of times, but I’ve not had any real opportunity do do a long steady trip.

(But yes, 25 mpg was an achievement in the GTS Macan!)

It is impressive. :D :D :D

I was getting 15mpg in a Cayenne.

I suppose a small aerodynamic car......

911 are not designed to do that many mpg if driven properly 😜 mine never got above 24 mpg .. 997 s cab ... luckily I grew out of that phase and now enjoying Macan diesel power and economy 👍🏻

Impressive, Tracky. I’ve never got that in my 911 Carrera T. But then again, I’ve never averaged just 55mph on a journey. ;)

Turbo engines are really frugal in car that size and weight with tall gleaming (when cruising along)

This was Semerka’s 991.2 2S PDK after a steady drive to Dorset on Christmas Eve ‘19.
I could scarcely believe it!

The midnight return trip was 27% faster, but used DOUBLE the fuel :oops:
I then wasted the 35 mins I’d saved myself!

It was a memorable drive though, so I’m glad I blew out the cobwebs and spent a bit more on petrol :D

I often managed 30+ in my 991.2 GTS which amazed me given I only averaged 21 in my GTS Macan over eighteen months. A 911 is a special car in many unexpected ways these days.

And this was the same 991.2 2S (gone, but not forgotten ❤️) that Red5 is talking about above on a July day blast from the Czech Republic back to Calais, very impressive MPG I'd say (the aerodynamic shape helps a lot):

I averaged 35mpg from Worcestershire to Folkestone at 3am with CC set at 70mph in my 991TTS


Then 8mpg around the Ring the next day 🤣
