2014 Boxster Base MPG Redux

So last time I posted, it was a short trip to work. This time I drove from Michigan to Florida. Started with topping off the tank with 3 gallons then filled up twice on the way down. I set the cruise at 73mph and chilled the trip down*. I averaged 39.4mpg but when I got into ATL-area and FLA, the MPG went down because those MFs like to bunch up and cause backups. There was a lot of stop and go which just kills mpg. Before you light me up for not driving itije I stole it, there were a few moments where the rpms were in the 7k's for some "spirited" passing and making some distance/space from the Nissan/RAM/KIA low credit score assholes.

*I have a fuck-flock camera screen on my plate (second pic) which is technically a ticket but I haven't had any issues with Sheriffs or Highway Patrols with it yet so there's that. No need to draw attention to it by driving like an a-hole Nissan driver. Plate number is only visible from straight behind.

"Spa" Day for the 981 Boxster.

Doing an oil change at 6k miles instead of the recommended 10k interval. Oil came out not as dirty as I expected.

Been draining it for 35 minutes now and I can see a steady but thin stream of oil still draining.

I'm going to take it to the car wash afterwards.

Boxster Base MPG

These are some of my drive stats for my 2014 Base. I end up getting ~32MPG overall since my drive home hits a lot of 'stop and go' traffic.

​

Anyone else trying to maximize their mpg*?

​

*There are some drives where the mpg is a lot worse but I'm smiling. 😉
