Fuel Consumption

[Perfectlap]

if you think the petrol is pricey, then you're going to love the repair costs. This is the first car I've ever owned where I was handed a $5,000 repair bill. And we weren't done yet.
Best advice is to trade up for a newer used Porsche every couple of years. Let the first owner take the hit on depreciation and pass the big repairs items onto the next owner before the odometer goes higher and higher.

We have a saying about Porsches here in Murica'.... if you're worried about your Porsche's fuel consumption you're probably driving a new Carrera.

What horse****************! A $5K bill to you is large because you're a cheap bastard! A $500 bill to you is disconcerting.

Advice? So says the guy driving a 15 year old Boxster. LOL.

Sayings you say? There are many-many reason people like to get & see good gas mileage. I would expect Warren Buffet to be considerate of MPGs.

Considering Warren Buffett drives Cadillacs, I'm not sure MPG's are a big concern. Yes, it's kind of a fun game to play the fuel economy game....but frankly, if your mpg's are getting high, it means you aren't really driving the car. These cars are meant to be driven, fuel economy be damned!

Frankly, saving 3 or 4 MPG's is only going to save you around $100/year in fuel costs based on 10K of driving. I'd rather put my foot down a bit more for that paltry amount.

Try that mentality on a 4 hour highway drive.
