You could be absolutely right. But if you fill it up till it "clicks" check the odometer, drive it, fill it up, and check the odometer, gallons divided by miles should equal mpg. Still using the same formula and the 911 is getting 27 on the highway.

Your right, my 71 Yamaha 650 twin didn't do a whole lot better.

Shoot, I got 38 mpg on a 94 Jetta (5 sp, gas) over a 600 mile trip.... My last speeding ticket as well,... 89 in a 75.

idontknow,...... about the EPA ratings, but a brother-in-law has a 2002 Golf diesel, 5-sp, over 100,000 miles and highway mpg is regularly around 50.

Is it mostly the weight, and performance? Considering both, the current mpg is admirable but....


Just for fun
