34.0mpg in my 1999 Carrera and 29.5mpg in the turbo. Both on the motorway at 70mph and car was warm. Reset computer after filling up and that is what I got. You lose about 20% in fuel economy with the 4x4 on the turbo so its what i expected.
 
My was showing about 31mpg as I came down the M4 last Friday. I really was doing 69.9 mph as it was my first trip!
 
David that's magnificent in a Turbo. Best for me was 30 on one of my first show off trips to visit my wife's friends, but that dropped to 24 as soon as we got into the town, and do you know 24 isn't that bad for a 3.6 after all.
 
Routinely get 33-35 on long M-way trips, especially abroad and at speeds averaging 70-80.
 
On motorway journeys at around 80 I get 31/32. If I reset the trip when the engine is up to temp and I'm already cruising then I saw 39 a couple of weeks ago over a 100 mile run (I know thats cheating).
