depends on my wheel set. In winter I have my snows on 997 Turbo replica wheels that are porkers. Proably 34 #'s. Add the heavy ***ty snow tire. Weight is up there. Fuel economy drops by a solid 5 mpgs.
In summer I have the the factory Carreras and the super stick RE 11's. Probably 1/3 lighter.
I have no problem going over the 300 miles mark ona full tank.

My MPG is directly related to my right foot! Since I still love the sound of that flat 6 winding out, I'm afraid I can actually watch the fuel gauge going down as I wind out the gears. Actually could care less at the moment the MPG, still having too much fun.
