I get 21-22mpg in the boxster in my commute (84 miles one way). The wife's Outback gets ~25-26mpg. I tried driving her car for my commute. I hated commuting in it and stopped. It's a great car. When we are going to visit the kids and are taking a ton of stuff, it's great and I don't mind driving it at all. It's got the 3.6L flat 6 motor, so it's got good torque and will go.

But when I'm commuting, I'd rather pay the extra money for gas and drive the boxster.
Honestly all of the modern Porsche sports cars get pretty respectable MPG, I wouldn’t consider any of them as gas guzzlers.
