On the Canadian website, they still have the configurator and tech specs listed for both the 2016 Boxsters and the new 718 Boxster.
Here's how they stack up.
2016 Boxster gets 7.9 l/100 km = 29.8 mpg highway and 11.5 l/100 km = 20.5 mpg city
2917 Boxster gets 8.3 l/100 km = 28.3 mpg highway and 11.0 l/100 km = 21.4 mpg city
2016 Boxster S gets 8.6 l/100 km = 27.3 mpg highway and 11.9 l/100 km = 19.8 mpg city
2917 Boxster S gets 9.0 l/100 km = 26.1 mpg highway and 12.1 l/100 km = 19.4 mpg city
Unless there's a mistake on the website info, it shows the 718 getting worse mileage on the highway and slightly better mileage around town.
For the 718 S, it's worse mileage both around town and on the highway. It could be that Canada uses a different test cycle. But in this instance, there's certainly no advantage that I can see from an environmental stand point.
