940 turbo mileage in the city? 900

posted by  someone claiming to be Peter Penguin on  Fri Jan 10 04:18 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I'd like to hear from 945 Turbo owners who manage to get great milage from their turbos... just to give me some encouragement that it can be done.

I'm afraid to say that from my rough estimates, I'm only managing about 15 mpg in the city... on my 1995 945 T. I attribute this to the heavy weight of the vehicle... and the strenous nature of city driving in Seattle which consists of about 40% going up and down hills... and mostly short trips.

I keep the tires slightly overinflated... new air filter... and generally the car runs like a swiss watch.

Anyone getting 21 mpg city or higher?
