GTD/GTI - competition time! Whats your average MPG from start (long term ;) )?
« on: 21 December 2013, 18:49 »
Since I got my GTD on 1st October and 2000 miles later my average MPG on the MFD shows since start is 29MPG

This does include a few motorway journeys where my foot was fully down  :whistle:

What's everyone else showing?

Realising after posting this I am assuming from start means from Zero and not from when you last switched on the engine  :smiley:

From start is the beginning of your journey, long term is from day one.

Confusing thread this, we already have an MPG thread and how can you have an average since start?  Surely the average since start is the long term?  Unless you reset your long term all the time?

Sorry to be pedantic, I want to be accurate with my answers  :smiley:

I'm not far off that in 2.5 years and 40k miles in my 911 (26mpg) and that includes some >150mph cruising on Autobahn and plenty in the Alps, Dolomites etc.

In the 700 miles I've had my GTD 44.9 including the mileage the delivery driver did...

Long-term mpg for my GTD is 44.5mpg. Currently I'm at 2900 miles. I don't hang around now as driving it mean and getting to optimum operating temp quicker is no thirstier than driving like a nun on my daily commute.

In your average MPG menu there is a "since start" option as well as "long term", like i said in my last post, the since start one gives you your average for your current journey which resets itself after something like 4hrs.
