I cant remember how many MPG a 3.4 996 does??

So could someone enlighten me?

Lets say its a 27 mile commute each way, half duel carrigeway half town.

I am in mid "argument" with a collegue.

I know driving style has a lot to do with this, but for the sake of argument, lets assume the drive is conducted at normal traffic speed, so pottering at 60/70 and steady round town.

Thanks

23-26 with gentle driving I'd guess.

(but driving style and how many start/stops in town will have a huge bearing on that)

I can afford a porsche but worry about the MPG!

Had mine for almost 3 years but have never bothered working out the MPG, at a guess I'd agree with above, 23-26mpg sounds likely.

Exactly the argument I was having.

People have the wrong impressions of fast cars. He was muttering that it would be 12/13 mpg-and I couldnt remember what mine did when used daily.

Well, on the rare occasion mine gets driven across town in london in rush hour, I average 18.5-20mpg. throw in some runs and a could see at least 23-25. Steady 70mph run and its into the thirties

Had mine for over 5 years now... pottering about (to and from golf club 4 miles away, into town (10 miles) I get around 26. On a long (and fast) runs, (e.g. to Norway and back, or to Italy and back) I get 29 to 31. hence for your journey, I'd guesstimate 27mpg - a gallon each way!
