996 C2 - daily commute question
Discussion
I'm looking for a car for a 60 mile daily commute, and one thought is a 996 C2.
I've got a 997.2 PDK (which I don't want to commute in) and it'll do mid-30s MPG on a dual carriageway run, which is what my commute will be.
What would a 996 do? It'd be a manual. Also, is there any difference in economy between the Gen1 and Gen2 models?
I appreciate you don't necessarily buy a 911 for economy, but it'd be good to know what to expect.

Thanks all.
Sounds like it's a viable commuter car then. All it really needed was to beat the 23mpg I'm getting from my diesel X5!
I could use the 997, but it gets enough use already without adding another 15k p.a. to it. I also have the opportunity to consolidate the fleet a bit, and adding a 996 would be a decent replacement for a couple of outgoing cars in the "do everything" stakes.
I did end up bringing the 997 this morning. All thoughts of economy figures went out the window when a dual carriageway presented an MP4-12C and no other traffic
