I thought you might find this interesting, there is a great EPA website that keeps track of mileage estimates for different cars.

EPA Website

Check out the city/highway mileage estimates and hp for the base Boxster with manual trans.

2000 19/27 217 hp

2003 20/29 228 hp

2005 20/29 240 hp

2007 23/32 245 hp


Interesting, I want 32 mpg with 245 hp, thank you very much.....

So I had to run to Florida to visit family this week and they have a Porsche dealership in Melbourne Beach. Stopped in to test drive a 2003 Boxster S (just playing, not interested in buying) and noticed that they had a base 2008 that listed 27 mpg for the highway (not the 32 mpg Porsche had originally given for the 2.7L engine) on the window sticker. I guess that reflects the new EPA method for estimating the mileage.

bmussatti said:"I get about 20-24 MPG. Top down, Sport Chrono on, and spirited driving."

That is way better than I get with the same car. I also have a 2006 S and consistently get only 18 mpg for my 12 mile trip to town, which is half highway and half traffic. I'm trusting the readout for this; maybe I should check it the old fashioned way.

Rapid motion through space elates one; so does notoriety; so does the possession of money.
