Mileage on your C43's
What kind of mileage are you guys getting with your automobiles, specifically the C43....I'm averaging about 23mpg highway at about 75mph +/- 5mph. My car is completely stock.

I range from 18-21 mixed city and highway. Best highway mileage I've gotten is around 25, though I can't recall my average speed. Mine is a 1999 C43 with 48,000 miles on the clock.

Thanks for the replies fellas...my "whitey" has 86K on the clock. My only peeve, is the relatively small tank - 12 gallons. My ol' 1983 911 SC has 23 gallons and would get 26mpg - I could break, on occasion, 500 miles on one tank.

How is that possible that you have a 12 gallon tank? Very strange!

That was my mistake, it has a 16.4 gallon. I always end up filling it with 12 gallons, never let it get to "E"
Anyways, I changed the fuel filter this past monday (03-06-2006) and today 03-09-2006, is the first time I have cracked the tripmeter over 300 miles with one tank load prior to the fuel level light illuminating (306 miles to be exact) - this includes some city driving as well.
