Climbing up in 2nd 4500 - 5k or 3rd 4K I would drop into high teens. As soon as I could level off around 3-3500 I jumped right into lower 20s

Since the Boxster has so few monitors, my only way to gauge my car's health was water temp and MPG
The water temp just sat a hair over 180 at speed and the mpg staying steady
I did notice that in the early AM (cooler more dense air) I was seeing a steady 29.5 mpg steady. As the air temp went up, my mpg dropped but steadied in the high 20s

It was a good thing my Box was getting good MPG - at $4.10/gal Shell Premium, fuel costs were a bit steep.
