Default I didn't know this was possible

I had to take a business trip today but I didn't feel so hot, so I stuck my 4S on cruise control (right at speed limit). 30 mpg?

Funny how it doesn't do this when I'm redlining it all over the place.

That is impressive over such a long distance.

Here is my record (911-50 no powerkit with manual transmission) from Zurich to the Swiss-German border. Afterwards it raised just a bit on the unlimited Autobahn


According to a converter, this is about 35.6mpg but of course for just some short miles.

When doing a trip from NYC to Chicago I had the "Eco" mode enabled. I got over 34 mpg.

What octane rate fuel was that? 98 or 100?

It was 98 octane from Total.

draxa, for sure those values are strange, but I wanted to see what is possible. From the Swiss-German border back to Stuttgart the average consumption was back at somewhere double that value, so no problems there

I set my cruise at 80 when traveling and get around 32 mpg. Just an amazing car!

Yes, I have fairly routinely got 28-30 MPG on the way to the track, 8-9 MPG at the track and back to 28 MPG on the way home. Truly an amazing car.
