Hello! For all 928 owners, please help me with something here.
I am close in getting a 928 but friends and family tells me that is not worth getting a 928 because is a V8 engine and it will swallow gas like crazy and parts are highly expensive. They got that idea because I have a 2005 Dodge Durango and naturally is a V8 engine and I spend a lot of money in fuel for that SUV. My theory is that the Porsche is a light car compared to the Durango and it wont spend as much gas compared to the Durango. They say that is not true so I want to hear it from the 928 owners how is the fuel economy of the 928???
Does it really swallow a lot of gas?
Can I use it for daily basis or only as a weekend car?
Is it true that if I install a supercharger will increase fuel economy?

Does it really swallow a lot of gas? More so than my 912, 914 or 931... but its a very good engine my old 928S would get about 18 mpg on the highway
Can I use it for daily basis or only as a weekend car? If you are not going to far, yea use it daily drive it, have fun with it!
Is it true that if I install a supercharger will increase fuel economy? YES, you are sucking in more fuel, and unless you want a speed thing, I wouldn''t do it. If you do go with 928 Motorsports for the parts.
And parts of the 928 can be a bit on the high side, but Mark over at 928 International can get what you need for it.
