How thirsty is your Cayenne

[Helen Goff]

i've been reading several diffrent forums and the reports all seem to be very diffrent.

Very.
Just been skiing. Covered about 1600mls at average of 16.2, although most of this spent on cruise at 90-100 (speeding ticket at 170kmh to prove!!). Also this is fully loaded with four adults and roof box.
Day to day about 18

Horrendously

13mpg round town, 'fraid I'm getting paranoid about getting the consumption up, I got 21 out of it on the motorway and I felt as if i'd just won the lottery. I'm beginning to dread the noise that all cayenne owners fear the "ding" followed by the terribly polite message to fill up and let go of another 50 quid.

But don't get me wrong, I love it! []

Mine is also thirsty, in the write up prior to buying the Porsche, it should have returned the same as my BMW X5 but a lot more thirsty and I am not giving it much 'welly'. I am towing a caravan soon, dread to think what that will return. The BMW ran about 24 to 26 mpg on a run and about 22 around the town. Towing was about 16mpg.

they seem to be a lot more thirsty than the porsche brouchures will admit to.

i was rather hoping that it might be like my Boxster which seems to be better than Porsche claimed.

Average since October 18.6. I've seen 22 and I've seen 13!
Short trips drag it down badly but at 85 - 95 it seems to stay in the 18's.
although it seems programmed too (and happy) to run at under 2000rpm in 6th I don't think this helps particularly.
Given the weight/performance I think it's pretty good.

For comparison, our X5 3.0d does averages c.27.1 mpg on a reasonable run, driven briskly.

Although 30 mpg is feasible, short trips drop it to 23 mpg.

Good grief Brian, keep quiet about the caravan otherwise nobody round here will talk to you anymore.

What is the world coming to, Porsches and caravans in the same sentence...
