I can't recall the last time I checked the MPG on ANY vehicle I have owned. Had to be 25 years ago and only then on a long vacation trip (out of curiosity).
I buy all my vehicles because ...I LIKE THEM. The way they look, handle, perform, their configuration, comfort and that fill a function/purpose I desire. I certainly hope I am never in the position where I have to purchase a car because it gets five more MPG than another.

I see your point.
To be honest I have never actually calculated the mpg for the '87 but I do keep an eye on when to fill up, so I know how far it will go and I have a reasonably good idea of how much fuel goes in.
The 996 I have a readout on the dash that I can look at, and do to see how lead-footed I am being.
The 944 on the otherhand I would record the mileage and keep track of mpg to make sure everything was working as it should and that there were no major issues.
