I must be doing it wrong! (mpg related)

[Vince]

Yep.

Train booked, I leave Rainham station at 6:30ish Saturday morning and arrive at 10:40 in Barnsley.

It better be a good car

And linky?

 

[Peerzy]

I can get 30mpg out of my car on the motorway by sitting at 80mph in 6th. Best I can get round town is 23~mpg.

Mine is lighter (I guess), 2WD, a manual and a newer 3.4l engine I think though.

Has yours got the dfi engine? Mine is the one that is likely to suffer with valvue liners, ims and rms... so far no dramas though.

Westy his gf, JanseyB, Rob (InvaderGIR) are crashing at mine the night before.

Yeah I've spoken to the guy lots, seems like a sound buy so fingers crossed

I've no idea. As far as I'm aware my car can be effected by ims and the usual failures but it's more unlikely than the older engines.

I thought my 3.4l was released in 2005 (Cayman S) and then went into the Boxster S in early 2007. As far as I was aware it wasn't in any other cars but I'll admit I know very little about it.

Maybe you were subconciously trying for better MPG?

Driving everywhere in banzai mode I can get less than 130 miles from a tank, trying I can get over 300.

reading it like that makes me think about how much money i waste

 

[SoliD]

30MPG is possible, can get that out of mine when cruising at 75-80. Think you want to brim and measure, as I expect your trip computer is a bit out, but somewhere around 30 should be what you get on a steady cruise.

Worth it though

 

[HummuH1]

Don't see why it's not possible. I can get mid 30's out of the M3 if using 4th to 6th on a long trip and not hooning it at all.

 

[[TW]Fox]

Seems fair enough on a long steady trip.

 

[Mobius 1]

over the past 800 miles my car is getting 26.6mpg. not sure if thats good or not though..

 

[Will Gill]

i never saw north of 23 in mine, ever, but i never bothered being friendly to it either

 

[Dave85]

Yikes im lucky if I get 250 from brim to fuel light on for a while on the Type R think that averages about 25ish

Is that why she is a mere shell of her former self? On another note what a week failures all over my newly inherited infrastructure.

I think I need to give mine a bloody good raggin and see what it says.

 

[Scania]

If I can - at a push - manage mid teens MPG with a six axle articulated truck, then I'm damn sure - at a push - low 30's should be doable with a 911.

It must seem so wrong though!

 

[CaptainRAVE]

If it seems wrong, it probably is.

Ohh It does, Oh so wrong! Wrong but possible! Like some cheap hooker!
