Boxster Stamina

[JayG]

its called Lead Foot LOL

I ave around 19-20 around town and on the highway around 27-30

Pre tuning I could get 30, the second I get over 70 its like the drain the tank switch is turned on. High teens
Post tune I can get 25 same thing as soon as the cams start to rollup. the mileage starts to drop. Mid teen

Climbing up in 2nd 4500 - 5k or 3rd 4K I would drop into high teens. As soon as I could level off around 3-3500 I jumped right into lower 20s

Since the Boxster has so few monitors, my only way to gauge my car's health was water temp and MPG
The water temp just sat a hair over 180 at speed and the mpg staying steady
I did notice that in the early AM (cooler more dense air) I was seeing a steady 29.5 mpg steady. As the air temp went up, my mpg dropped but steadied in the high 20s

It was a good thing my Box was getting good MPG - at $4.10/gal Shell Premium, fuel costs were a bit steep.

I dream of getting gas that cheap. It's close to 5 1/2 bucks here
