97 with about 44k, haven't done my calculations as frequently, but I usually try to fill up at about 1/4 tank, so out of the 3/4 or so that I do go through I've seen anywhere from 19-23mpg, depending on how much of it is highway, which isn't much unless I'm taking the car out for a run or have a trip with a good length of highway involved, otherwise it's mostly city and local turnpike driving, coupled with ethanol everywhere, so my mileage isn't great...plus I'm not nice to it once it warms up.

I've got a 2.7l Tip - average about 17.75mpg.... but then it's normally fast highway driving, cruise at about 4k+rpm...

Would be interested to see what other tiptronic boxsters are getting...

I buy alcohol free 91 octane gas.

My 1998 2.5 5 speed got 24-26 around town and 30-33 on the road trips. I whaled on her often.

My 2000 S 6 speed gets 20-22 around town and 25-28 on road trips. Oh yes, I whale on her often too.

I have an 08 base Cayman (2.7L). I just took a 400 mile road trip; averaged 26.5 mpg at 60-70 mph speeds with some city driving. Nearly finished the whole trip on one tank. Not bad. In just urban driving, I usually get 23-24 mpg.
