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.
