What MPG do you get in your 951?

I average about 20mpg in the city driving like a grandma (gas is $4/gallon here for 93), running consistently on a 10-gallon refill to keep the car light. No spare tire or tools to weigh me down, but do have 285mm rear, 245mm front tires.

On the highway this last weekend, I did 600 miles @ 21mpg average, 65-70mph, lots of hills, full car (600lbs of people, gas, luggage, dogs)

In the city, with just me or me & the misses in the car, I average about 20 in granny-mode.

My car has rebuild injectors, 928 pump, Vitesse chips with an adjustable FPR running 30psi fuel pressure (no, I don't get on boost at all with it 8psi low)< but found a semi lean & clean 15.5:1 at cruise which is about as lean as I can go w/o feeling the reduction in fuel.

I ran 31psi down there for 20mpg, 30psi back for 22mpg, but it's bordering on way too lean & of course, I don't dare get on boost like that.

Just curious to see what others are getting.
