Porsche 911 (991/2) fuel economy questions

What is the real-world MPG of a Porsche 911 (991/2)?

Owners report an average of 28.1 mpg across all Porsche 911 (991/2) engines with data, about 98% of the official combined figure. The engine tables on this page give the figure for each engine and generation.

Why is the Porsche 911 (991/2) real MPG lower than the official figure?

Official figures come from a laboratory test cycle, not the road. Cold starts, short trips, hills, load, tyres and driving style all cost fuel the test does not see. A gap of 10 to 30 per cent is normal; a much bigger gap on one engine usually points at a fault, a heavy right foot, or a diesel that never gets warm.

Where did the Honest John Porsche 911 (991/2) Real MPG page go?
