Gas mileage for 3.2 Carrera

[Bullet Bob]

What sort of gas mileage do you get for your 911? I have an '88 3.2 Carrera and I actually do keep track of the gas mileage. It seems to hover around 22.5 MPG and I have a moderate driving style. When I am on the open road or in the hills I have some fun but I am very sedate when in the city. Is this in line with what should be expected?

Thanks,
Bob

I get around 6 MPL (miles per liter ).

I have an 85 Carrera and can get about 28 mpg if I drive 70-75 on the highway. I usually drive a little faster, maybe 80-90 and get around 22 mpg, so your results are typical.

Ive an 88 coupe- i drive on the more "revvy" side and periodically fairly quickly when safe- Los Angeles driving, lots of stop and go and I do try to still have fun from light to light as safe- thing is, gas mileage suffers- im looking at more like 17/18 around town- i pull darn near 30 if on a long road trip on the highway-

I get 85 miles per gallon, but then again I've been going downhill since I turned 40! Your mileage may vary.

(about 22-25 mpg, but our gallon is bigger than yours. 4.55L v 3.78L?)

highway: 11liters / 100kms
town: 14 litres /100 kms
Which is reasonable I think
Sorry, in no state to do the conversions now, don' task :-)

of course, it may be just a bit more when I get serious.. hehehe

i dont know or care! all i know its WAYYY MORE than 2-big block tow vehicles-a 383 stroker mtr in class 8, and 2 other chevy small blocks! will try and keep tabs on this next far-veg-nugen tour coming up in june thru utah-colo-new mex-az. well my g/friend will.........i still dont care cuz i like to spank my car...............HARD the way it likes and was built! please point me in direction of race fuel..............ALWAYS!!!!!!!!

[dentist90]

Charles makes an excellent point.. I'd much rather pour money into the gas tank than into repairs!!! Ask a Hybrid owner and a Porsche owner "what'll your car do" and you get two distictly different answers!

[Bullet Bob]

I agree. I am not concerned from an economic point of view but from a maintenance point of view. When I got this car it was averaging 20, which I thought was low. After a little looking, and four rebuilt brake calipers, it is up to 22.5. If that is still on the low side I will keep up the hunt. Otherwise I will call it good :-)

hey we took the 800 double pumper off and replaced with 500 cfm on stroker motor due to the gasoline twilight zone we all feel. seriously i am interested due to mileage we are going to put on.............hills-dales-straight flats-interstate-up/down slow fast- mtn curves, elevation extremes ............screaming like a red bullet for short safe known routes etc.. but really just the joy of putting around alot of weekends on same tank of gas has been a nice change from every other day fill ups. will have g/friend document start finish and get back. ill be too busy watching road!

If drive spirited can expect mid teens.

[charleskieffner]

[johncarlos2003]

If driven very spirited low teens! Man, these prices are making me shift more in range with the CASIS shift suggestions- haha, yeah right! (I am trying not to rev light to light though, that's just a waste!)

[charleskieffner]
