I been driving my 914 this summer. Closing in on 5 Kim so far this year. When I go, I get the highest octane that I can find; 91 or 92 with no EtOH where I live, trending towards more ethanol as we get west. So, I have been old guy writing down the numbers and have consistently hit 31 -32 mpg. This decreases if I leave my gas cap off just before a drive with the RRC 2024 folks.
The interstates let you drive at around 80 mph, and that adds up to a light throttle 3,000 rpm with my gears. The car must be pretty good with airflow. |

My 2056 gets about 20 in town, maybe 27 on a really good day on the highway. Anything over 60 starts to pull at that number. I have come to grips with that. It's still better than the 12 mpg I get with the mustang in town and 14 mpg I get with the explorer in town. Highway on those is 22 and 24 respectively.
Do I drive like grandma? Hell no. If you aren't playing in the 3k to 6k rpm range why are you driving a 914? If my mustang had a manual I can't even imagine how bad my mpg would be in that car. Oh, and I used to get far better mileage before the cht and afr gauge. I like my heads, I don't want to buy new ones. Truth be told I can't even get good mpg in the mini. I just can't drive that way. The volt, another story entirely. |
