gas mileage?
 

As the title states whats your gas mileage? :)

What are your driving habits like?

2000S - 17.5 to 18 mpg, about 60% freeway, 40% city. The best tankfull was 26 MPG, all freeway.
I have logged every tank of gas and the odometer readings since I bought the car in 2007. I drive with enthusiasm for the most part and have a Pb enabled foot. If I wanted a car with high MPG, I would've bought a hybrid and would have been bored to death.

My 2.7, driven hard, got 25-27 mpg. My S gets around 20 driven the same.

Mostly city, 23mpg. The best I did was 30 on a long easy highway trip.

1999 Boxster.
90% City - Stop and Go
10% Highway

20 City/25 highway

34 city, 38 highway.....

Ooops, that's the Corolla. About 19 with an S.

Bone stock '98 driven mostly highway gets 26.7. On a long trip last summer I averaged just over 30.

24 mpg on a 250 mile trip, 95% highway at 80mph.

Took a trip from Toledo, O. to Sodus Point, NY. in my base 2000 in less than a tank of gas - got 29.8 mpg. Slightly better on return trip. My badder didn't perform as well, but got a lot of "nice car" at the rest stops!

Just FYI, if you do a search you'd find the following related thread:

Personally I've been getting a pretty low 20.5, sometimes almost 21 mpg. The only time I get to take long stints on the highway is either if I take a long trip to somewhere else in the state or purposely take a drive just to give the car some movement and miles, and I have a hard time just cruising, heheh. I force myself to use the cruise control as much as possible when taking a long highway trip.

The majority of my driving is typically city, traffic lights and stop signs galore, with short stints on the highway, only 15-20 highway miles at the most when I have my occasional longer commute, and that is not as common as my shorter trip to work and other more local places. I could definitely stand to get even another 5mpg, though I know at least a part of that has to do with my right foot control.

20-23 mpg, and spirited driving for me would be considered an understatement.

I haul donkey in mine!

2001 Base Box 5-speed. 90 mile roundtrip daily. Old engine died with 129,666 miles....getting 25-26 mpg. New (used) engine with 35,000 miles getting 27-28 mpg. 85% freeway with some highway hilly twistys.

The 1998 Base 2.5 L 5 spd manual got 24-26 around town and 30-33 on the highway.

The 2000 S 3.2 L 6 spd manual gets 20-22 around town and 26-28 on the highway.

We like to "drive" this car like the Doctor prescribed.

2001 S; Avg 23 MPG.

I average 24.4mpg on my '04 2.7 5-speed.

I drive nearly 100% highway miles and have checked my mileage with several tank fulls. I seem to always get 27 mpg with my 03 S. The weird thing is that I get practically the same mileage whether I baby it and drive it like I'm going for high mileage, or if I drive it like I stole it. - So now I nearly always drive it like I stole it. ;-)

I have a 2001S, always put 91 octane in. 100% city use with 50% stop & go. Harsh conditions, and as a result I get around 16.5-17 mpg. I do wind it up when I get the chance though, 1st gear runs to the redline are a must if I find myself first at the stoplight.

I never clocked it even once, as it turns out gas was the cheapest thing I ever put in the car. I did use premium and enjoyed every single mile, if the car was getting 9 mpg, I'd have still driven it.

2000 S just, replaced the MAF, 02's not long ago, change the oil every 6-7 months but I installed a full Fabspeed exhaust including headers. I'm very easy on the brakes (1 set of pads in 80k miles). I'm getting 21-22 mpg of mostly highway miles.

I just read the newest Ferrari V8 is getting 24 mpg.

As an update, this past tank saw a drop, possibly due in part to the drop in temp around here and my using it to commute to work for most of the week, with the typical short stints on the highway and putting around the cities. ~19.4mpg

Here is a related thread:

98 2.5 manual - average 21mpg 50/50 city/hwy with 93 oct Shell
01 3.0 v6 Avalon - averaged 23-24mpg on same route with 87 oct whatever

Overall I'm happy, considering the Avalon only got 15% better but was 100% less fun.

Avalon I drove like grandpa since I had a trip computer and that 3.0 had zero acceleration it wasn't fun to push hard

De=Snorkled 99 2.5L I get 21mpg combined up to 27mpg Highway at 70mph on 93 octane.

I don't know. I don't care. This is not a MPG vehicle. I someone is concerned about MPG buy a Prius or Cruze. I only care about MPH.

Boxster

Boxster S

I generally drive sanely and I get 22 MPG combined (over the last four months and 4,000 miles) in my '99 manual. I've had as low as 18 and as high as 26.

MPH? Perhaps also the wrong car for you. ;) G's on a skid pad? Now we're talking! :D

HWY traveling I flucuate between 35 to 41 mpg, and in town 24 to 29 mpg. Highway travel is usually a steady speed at or near 75. Step off the highway or mix it up and the mileage drops by about 20%

Wow, Eric G. You sure you're driving a Boxster? ;)

MPH? Gotta be kidding. Box has plenty.

As my 22 year old daughter says to me, "if you drive a Porsche, you should not even think about gas mileage!":dance:

She is driven, but she is also sitting with 89K on her now and I have on order new struts, front wheel bearings, IMS, RMS, and front engine mount. No running issues, rather I am just being careful with her till I am totally comfortable with her ability to match up with my intentions.

The IMS is not going out rather I am waiting till Saturday as we are having a guest engineer attend the monthly coffee meeting our PCA region has and he is bringing an Industrial Vibration Monitoring meters and analyzers. He efforts have lead to a system he built for identifying Boxster, 996 and 997 IMS boogieman.

Once all this work is done and I am happy with the results, its off to the Ridge track and I am fully confident that my MPG will come more in line with the figures above!:cheers:

2001 S - Just got 28 MPG on a 370 mile highway trip.

I was able to drive just over 400 miles on one tank of gas.
Calculated to 29mpg. Mostly highway miles. Base boxster. Average speed of 70mph.

I'd like to direct you to the ---> ;)
