Boxster vs Boxster S

[Perfectlap]

my car has never seen anything north of 20mpg mark.
Neither has it seen anything south of 93 octane. That's an expensive relationship!
Lucky for me its just a weekend driver.

Makes me wonder how much worse the situation would be if I had a 3.4 987S with GT3 seats.

Why an "S"? The usual "more power, better brakes and 3rd radiator and 6spd transmission?"

Just wanted to make sure you drove a regular one before discounting it. I love my non s (but sadly must sell it) and haven't found an "S" I can't run with, either on the track or off.

yea I fell ya perfectlap. the box S is actually the best gas milage car at 20-22mpg for me that I've had in yearssssssssssss. lol

the only relief is to invest in exxon and gas and energy mutual funds, that way when gas goes up you make money, its a small relief

If I had a red 360 I would make it a point to try and obtain the worst possible gas mileage with each tank refil. You only live once!

p.s.
If you are in the limousine business doesn't it make sense to put some Hybrid engines in those Big Ass limos? They just keep getting bigger!! I mean, is anyone really hauling ass with 10-15 people on board? That's a ton of weight. $3-$4 gas in those tanks must bite into your profit margin big time!
