Change History

Steady long distance driving at about 75 mph through the Great Plains gives me ≈ 34-35 mpg.* Driving in my area, definitely [i]not[/i] "City" and it drops to 15-16. About a year ago I tried following the upshift indicator, but the thing will have you in 6th at 40 mph, which is ridiculous. I don't think the Sport throttle setting makes much difference mpg-wise. As I mentioned some time ago, because it's like gaining about a quarter of a gear down, I found myself upshifting sooner because the [i]initial[/i] response is somewhat comparable, so the aggressive mapping is offset by my earlier upshifting.
* What amazes me is that's about, or even an mpg or two more than what my base 01 could get, and the 981S Boxster S has a nominal 98 more horsepower.
