The Boxster's drivetrain would probably lose closer to 12%, which is more consistant with FWD.
Just my thoughts

That's a real good point. I was thinking about that the other day myself. I would think that the boxster would be more efficient than say a front engine Rwd car that has a long heavy drive shaft to spin?
