My '03 C2 seems to average 24 mpg per tankful.

Zook,

That's pretty good. I'm lucky to squeeze 450 km. out of a tankful - that works out to around 14 L/100 km. - mixed driving.

Onboard computer says 28.8mpg but my own calculations at the pump consistently shows 24mpg.
I do mostly highway, 70miles a day, if I drive the C4S.

(Other days it's the F150 = 16.5mpg)

C4S: I average 18 mpg with a rural commute -- along a twisty, hilly road beside a very big lake... I never complain about commuting

On a long road trip across several states I got 22 to 23 mpg at a reasonable pace.

Have a great trip.

Toronto to Ottawa cruise control at 115Km/hr, 8.4 L/100 (it should be close to 29 mpg)
If I increase to 120Km/hr, it begins to consume more.

Ah, but do you have the C4/C4S with the microscopic fuel tank?

On a road trip, I have to fill up more frequently than I have to pee. My 944 could go for another 150 miles before a fill up.

Mine improved from combined hwy/city 18 to 21, just by filling the tires to the proper pressure (rears were at 36psi before...).

Check your pressures folks....
