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.
