Anyone know what MPG you get from a Cayenne GTS in the real world?

which version? Trouble is you will be addicted to flooring it as they sound good.

I have only owned my 2009 model for around a month but we went straight down to Devon from London on holiday and I also use it several days a week doing nursery collections etc.

Devon round trip, fully loaded with kids and luggage avg ~22mpg
Taking it easy on the motorway ~24mpg
Town ~12-15mpg

As mentioned above it is difficult not to plant your foot a little harder than required due to the noise, especially as I have disconnected the vacuum actuators so my exhaust is permanently in sport mode smileevil

Test drove one today cool

However, the 10 mile journey returned only 14mpg eek so I might have to consider a diesel...

Well just for comparison my Cayenne Turbo S is returning 18mpg and 410 miles to a tank which is respectable i think for such a big heavy powerful car.

Ran a late 2008 for 30 months and can confirm he following:

Motorway between 70-80mph was seeing a return of 22mpg (never had better than 22.5mpg during ownership).

Town driving max 12-14mpg.

Spirited driving would see between 250-280 miles on a tank, sensible driving 350+, 100 litre tank.

So overall around 18ish MPG, but hit the sport button and what a noise! You forgive the MPG just to listen to it.

You definitely do not buy a V8 Porsche for fuel economy!
