This is a Porsche forum right?
So amazing MPG is not exactly why you buy one of these machines.
As Simon (WingCo) will testify when you take part in a Register Run organised by the 991 Register of the Porsche Club GB achieving over 20 mpg in a 911 usually means you lost the convoy😠 As for the Macan, in the Register Drives with a GTS you would be averaging arounfd 18 mpg and in a Diesel about 25mpg. 👍

Yes, there are definitely two kinds of Porsche here. One for whom it's a sports car maker, and another for whom it's a luxury car and badge and more often than not, a diesel.

I did two 125 mile trips yesterday in my S to and from my PEC day. Something like 95% of the trip was motorway/dual carriageway. The drive there took 2 hours and the return took almost 3 hours (traffic on M25). I was surprised that petrol consumption was 25mpg for both journeys. I used to get 30mpg in my SLK350 on trips like that. The short trips I have done are also giving me around 25mpg.

It's actually a Porsche MACAN forum, and mpg is of some interest. The 911 register is not relevant to me but is of interest, If I want to know how 911's do I'll go on a Porsche 911 forum.

And there are owners like me who wish to own a well engineered car, fit for purpose.

Done 440 miles so far, overall average 19.9 mpg. Mainly cross country routes of 20-30 miles each, no motorway cruising yet. Hoping to get nearer 25mpg on longer journeys. I agree with Microbe, SLK350 used to give nearer 30 mpg but it's a lot lighter and only 2wd so should do more mpg for similar performance.

I am quite happy with the local mpg but just surprised that I didn't get more on a longer journey at (almost) legal speeds as there were times I was coasting and revs dropped below 1000. It doesn't mean I like the car any less. I have always believed that long journeys involving less acceleration and braking improve mpg, even if travelling at a higher constant speed

It may well improve microbe as I've seen 30mpg on my Turbo fuelly, but just dordling at 65-70 mph along the flat M4 to London from wales keep at it but 360bhp petrol and 2 tons isn't bad at 25mpg

Microbe, I've not bettered 25 yet on the M-way, but I tend to keep at around 85 with the odd blip now again to get round something.....I guess if I had the discipline to drive a tad slower I might get to 30mpg...? (as if that's going to happen)
