Yeah, my Box-S isn't bad. I'm sure that I could probably squeeze it up into the 23mpg range if I tried. It's a shame that a regular boxster gets much better mileage than a Box-S, and then a corvette gets better mileage than both. I'm sure the vette gets high numbers because on the highway it's loping along at 1200-1500 rpms in top gear. My boxster in 6th at 83 revs at 3400 rpms, so I'm not exactly loping.
But then I didn't get the car for it's fuel economy.

Your Boxster, like my 2009 Cayman probably gets close to 30mpg on the highway if you keep a light right foot. That last bit is the rub so I rarely see 30mpg.
