When was the car last serviced? Might try a new airfilter. Check Plugs and Cylinder Compressions. Check ignition system.

Yea that is bad. I can romp on my turbo and still make 17-18. I would change fuel filter, air filter, check your tire pressure, etc. Are there any modifications to the car? Does it have aftermarket chips in the ECU? If it were running a larger turbo, bigger injectors, etc then expect lesser mpg.

Good suggestions. I freind of mine runs his on the track and get's better gas mileage. Should be hitting at least 20 on the highway.

RE: 944 turbo MPG
 

Should be high 20's on the interstate, and around 18-20 around town depending on how you drive.

Lol, i've averaged 25 doing 90-100 most of the tank :) At 70, the cars will make 30 all day long.

Another thought what grade fuel do you run on. I find the higher grades give me much better gas miileage. Regards Big Bob

I think the 944T should be running on high grade

Hi grade would certainly be better. Big Bob
