1994 945T, 211K.

This was 80% highway with a few jaunts into Center City Philadelphia and some stop and go driving in the 'burbs.

I have been accelerating like a old man, keeping my highway speeds to 55-60 and coasting whenever I can. This is a big jump from my usual 22-23. No AC was used on this tank.

I have an aftermarket Thule roof rack on the car. I think I could see another 1 mpg if I took it off. Also planning on doing some fairing work on the underside of the car.
