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. |

The way life should be I am a very law abiding driver in general, and the fifty five limit saved both gallons and lives. With all of that said, I saw almost no speeding on the interstates with the high speed limits. Maybe with so many miles to cover in this amazing country sometimes people just watch things go by and wait out the distances. As for that, I am grateful for my 914 to ride in. |
