Do a search. And I'm getting about 25 mpg highway and half that (or less) on track.

It seems that a CIS or Motronic should get 25 +- 1 at 65-70mph.
carbs are more fun to figure in advance if you're into wild cards.

I have no friggin' idea. But for the way I drive - which isn't easy at all - and the sort of traffic I more than not seem stuck in - CIS is by far a savior. It's not too bad on the track, either. I can drive 60+ miles to the track, race around all day, and come back home on one tank of gas.

My 86 Carrera gets 20 MPG around town and 25 on the highway.
Heard that's a lot better than the SCs get which is one more reason... Pete

86 3.2-
- 18.5 average - pleasure drives thru the country side ( 90%) - 25 mpg on the highway ( 5th gear, 70-75 mph) - 12-13 at WGI, if the track is dry and fast. |

I just purchased a 997 993 Cab... so far it seems to get about 17-19MPG, but I havent measured it to be sure.
My 86 Cab, conversely...gets about 23-24MPG... maybe its the way that Im driving the 993 thats causing the dip
