It really varies depending on the kind of driving I've been doing. My 940T is considerably thirstier at the pump compared to it’s otherwise identically driven 940 NA cousin of same age and mileage, to the point I will avoid taking it on longer highway trips unless I’m hauling a load or will be climbing lots of long hills with the A/C on. On a good day on a long highway trip in slightly mountainous terrain I can do 700 km on a brimful tank of premium in the NA, whereas I can do maybe 550 km in the turbo (you can do the metric conversion). I admittedly do attempt more passing with the more powerful turbo. Somewhere between my neighbour’s Prius and other neighbour’s F150 is all I can ask of it.

Somewhat worse in real life compared to being on an EPA rack or test track. Somewhat worse with worn/aging components (the car I mean). Somewhat better on premium gas. Somewhat worse when the driver is wearing lead shoes that day, especially with a turbo. Notably worse when brakes are starting to drag or plugs and O2 sensor are fouled. Horrid in lots of stop and go traffic, again especially with a turbo.
