Boxster Stamina

[MadDad]

Guys, on subject of gas prices....here in UK we're close to 11 dollars a gallon for premium fuel. I get about 25 mpg in my base 2.7 Tip.

I am surprised to see the variations in MPG on the Hwy. I could only speculate 6 versus 5 speed. I have no mods so maybe mods reduce mpg??
My prep was new oil, air filter, clean the MAF. The plugs and belt only had a couple thousand miles on them.
My MPG is typical of what I'm use to
What I was alluding to in the title 'Stamina' was running the engine 14 hours in 90 degree temps at 3k rpm
Then thrashing it up and down those mountains 500+ miles.
Get back on the Hwy and the engine runs even more efficiently.
The original clutch (70k miles) never complained even when I got lazy and kept it in 3rd climbing at 3k rpms

I was very nervous that this car couldn't just run like that but I do like an adventure.
Probably why I bought a Boxster in the first place
I was picturing myself changing the AOS in the dark and rain, on a lonely mountain road, the engine still blazing hot and of course I wouldn't have any cell service

Using imperial gallon measure(slightly larger than the US gallon) I get 20 in the city and 30 on the highway.

Stamina - mine? Longest drive I have done is 4 hours to Jasper. Longer trips we take the Camry. Wife could not sit that long in the Boxster.
Coldest temp I have driven in is about -34C(about -30F). Okay everybody flame me for doing that.

Car gets driven regularly throughout the year . 3 years of ownership and it is certainly worth the price of admission. I would like a Cayman but don't want to spring for a CPO one.

And you all have stamina listensing to me!
Cheers, Guy Have a great day.
