How much fuel

does a gt3 use at 190 MPH? Can you see the fuel gauge moving?

At 190 you will be focusing on what is coming on your way, hardly looking at the speedometer

I feel obliged to comment on this topic having just borrwed a Carrera S PDK whilst the 7GT2 was in for service.....

Bloody hell, what a thirsty thing that is !! It was doing about 15mpg in my normal city/motorway driving, I had to put juice in it twice as it completely caught me out with how quickly it drank the gas ! My GT2 does 20mpg in the same sort of driving, I can't quite understand it ?

maybe the gear ratio has an influence on it?

certainly not seeing the needle move and it certainly will not digest as much as the thirsty turbos at that speed ...

My guess: same sort of driving = same level of acceleration. And the 997S needs more gas to accelerate like your GT2 under normal conditions.
