Thanks mate.
Actually I was thinking about getting a Masser Gransport, I'm trying to 'logically' talk myself out of it on this being more sensible and cost effective with high fuel prices.
Don't worry about the high fuel prices on a Masser, worry about the depreciation! Actually I was thinking about getting a Masser Gransport, I'm trying to 'logically' talk myself out of it on this being more sensible and cost effective with high fuel prices.

about the same as me , 22-23MPG on a mixed commute... costs about £70 for the tank at the mo with Super.
on a 75-80lepton run it'll do 28-29... as soon as you get into some stop start work it was fall rapidily though, its disapointingly bad in traffic.. 15-16mpg
if you drive like miss daisy at 60 on the motorway you'll get 32
this is for a gen 1, i assume a gen 2 is much better? though i've not seen any owners post anything... i had a gen 2 cayman s and on my same commute driven the same it did 29 rather than 23 so a decent improvement (obviously a 3.4 though)

Have a gen2 c2s.
I average approx 20 mpg - mostly urban stop/start.
Went for an early morning blast last weekend and averaged 13mpg over approx 30 (spirited) miles.
Drove Hertfordshire to Brighton and back recently - steady 80ish most of the way. Averaged 31 mpg.
Get approx 250-300 miles per tank depending on usage.

Thanks for posts!
I'm considering a 997.1 C2s. I think the fuel consumption and likely hood of major techincal issues are better than a masser.
Totally different car again but i do have a soft sport for Cayman S, but would need to get an LSD and some power increases for my liking and prefer not to mod up cars if poss.

I get 24mpg from mixed use in my C2S Gen 1, and will back up what others say about m'way, tootling and blasting. I do have a shopping trolley as well now, but it was still 22mpg before I got the oil burner.
From what I can make out, a 911's thirst is lighter than just about anything else that you might think about, be that Massers, Astons, Jags, or on another level, M-cars, RS Audi's etc. It's an uninformed opinion, but 6 cyls just use less than 8. My old 330Ci (28-30mpg) was another example of better than you would think consumption.

agree with that, my z4m coupe was at least 20% less thirsty that the C2S pretty much all the time.. i even saw it do high 30's on a long enough run.. amazing! bloody hard suspension though
