I think Porsche said that I could get 23mpg highway. I suspect if I worked at it, I could get 23-25mpg (drive slower, use hypermiler tactics).

Hybrids just encourage frugal driving, the menus and instruments are set up to gamify it. Still a boring car but adds a small element of entertainment. One of the biggest perks this summer has been the electric AC though. With 3 young kids I am waiting in the car a lot in pick up lines and the eternity it takes a whole family to strap in. Nice freezing ac without idling the car.
I put no effort into optimizing fuel economy in the Cayman. Hardly even pay attention to it but my indicator has always read above 20mpg not too bad for 365hp and a heavy foot.
