"Not enough freeway driving I guess..." - Eslai

"About 340 miles one-way. with cruise set at 82mph, I was getting approx 32mpg" - Mach Schnell

That's what I notice most about the fuel economy in the 987, in that the deltas you see on other convertibles, i.e. top-down vs. top-up or highway vs. city are much wider in the Box.

Driving around town with the top lowered I can watch the fuel gauge go down between intersections, but on the highway, with the top up the Box is a Porsche Prius. On this theme, have you guys seen the low fuel message in the 987 OBC? It says "Consider Remaing Range". I thought it was pretty amusing.
