Last two fill-ups ~20.5 MPG, though a couple of months between fill-ups. I usually drive it to work on Fridays. That's a stock `87 Carrera with a mix of highway and town driving. The best I ever got was 26 MPG on a 5600 mile trip.

I've never checked.

There are a lot of factors that affect it, mostly the mods and the fact that the EPA numbers are basicly their best guess.
I get around 23 mpg highway and 15 mpg city.

My wife just took our '84 Carrera on a 900 mile trip to Utah. She got 31 mpg on the outward leg and 30 on the return. No AC of course! Recent tuneup/valve adjust, new tires, just lowered, corner balanced and aligned with new torsion bars (21/28). I was quite pleased with this development and this motor has 212K miles on it! YMMV

'76 2.7 l 911S. With corrections for speedometer/odometer/tiresize error: 20 MPG on daily commute to work with A/C on and 27 while on highway.

I have never filled my tanks in the last 5 years.

Don't drive that much and only fill to a 1/4 tank for AX and fill to a 3/4 tank for DE. Less weight is better...

P.S. Don't drive the Porsche as a daily driver. 5 years ago, filled my tank during the summer, NO AC in AZ, makes for a hot drive, took 3 months or longer to get it to a respectable AX/DE level. I ended up doing drives just to burn gas!

At the rate right now! Not considering burning $3.15/$6.99 a gallon...and the car is in the shop with $80 of race fuel.

Cheers,

17/21 mpg on 91 octane in los angeles. Driving to the high desert with no stops I get about 24.

21 - 27 mpg in my 85 Carrera.

Do a search if you want more numbers, there have been many a thread on this topic.

15-17 around town winter, 17-19 around town summer, 22-24 highway in my old '88.

I never calculated my mileage before last weekend. I drove 2,111 miles in my 1971 911E between Thursday and Sunday (to Colorado, for the 911E Registry Tour de Colorado, and back) and logged my mileage:

Highway average (driving 85-105 mph): 23 mpg

I get about half that in stop-and-go city driving.

[Miguel Antonett]

15 in the city, 20 on the highway, 8 at the track and guess where the fun is :-)

[wholberg]

I get very close to 30 mpg at 50-55 mph, and about 24 at 70-80 mph.

20 mpg in mixed town/highway driving is probably typical.
If you get much less than that, you probably have a problem--maybe in the mixture.

For those of you with targas and sunroofs in coupes, keep the side windows up when the roofs are open, or else the gas mileage will drop like a rock. Found that out in a convertible I owned a few years ago.

1989 carrera coupe with 1995 3.6, I'm now generally getting similar miles to the tankfull with the 3.6 than I was with the 3.2!!!

24mpg average with the 3.2
25mpg average with the 3.6

[pmajka]

88 911 with ANDIAL 3.7L twin plug
16.5 mixed with A/C on. 19 with AC off

[carrue529]

1987 3.2 coupe (no A/C)

21mpg avg mixed city/highway

[defcon65]

85 Carrera up to 30 mpg on the highway if I'm easy on the throttle. Typically I'm not and get more like 25. I don't use the AC. Around town it is much less, maybe 20.

[khamul02]

20 3/4 highway 1/4 town (80sc)

[azasadny]

I get 21mpg consistently.
