Sounds like the same ballpark as me. I drove mainly 55-65 without AC. And I don't accelerate much over 3K rpm. I used to go to 4K with my SC, as recommended, but the Boxsters don't require the higher revs. You can drive them every way.

I guess this is conservative driving. Probably the regular 20/29 numbers are for more aggressive driving. I'm still breaking new tires in.

Anybody watch Live Earth the other night? Save gas. LOL.
