The peeling buttons on the radio can be fixed by Becker. I don't know the web site off hand, but you can just search for Becker USA and you should find it. You need to mail the radio to their facility in New Jersey. I checked into it, and it will be around $55 not including shipping costs. I may have mine done this summer while I'm on vacation. I just haven't decided if it annoys me enough to spend the money.
I find my Boxster (2000 2.7L) does very well on the highway - between 28 and 30 mpg. Howver, if I drive it hard or experince a lot of stop and go traffic the mileage is in the low 20's.

Thanks, I will give becker a call. I was just wondering if there is a cheap DIY fix, for peeling radio buttons, $55 + shiping for that is a bit pricey.

Around 19-20 for pure in-town driving and about 26-28 for highway. Keep in mind that I'm in Colorado and mileage suffers at altitude...
+1 on the starts. You can get pretty good in-town mileage if you're willing to give up the 4000 RPM sound.

My memory is failing. Here's a post from someone who had the job done. The cost is closer to $90!

I knew there was a reason I was thinking of living with the problem. A DIY solution would be welcome.

Since I bought my car a year ago (01 S, 6spd, 46k miles), the "average mileage" reading has gone from 18.something to 20.1 and seems to have leveld off there. (13k miles in last year -- 3/4 city/PCH/freeway gridlock and 1/4 highway cruising)
