Depends on how you drive.

I used to get on my standard 998 anything between 40-55mpg. That was out of tune and at times i did give it a good going. At the moment with my stage 1 kit im getting 28mpg but its running rich. Getting it RR at weekend so ill let you know what i get after that.

I get about 35-40 mpg at a steady 70-75mph in the Clubby - which runs a very modified 1293.

But when I give it some stick it will drop down into the 'teens, so as Jackman says, it really does depend on how you drive.

The 998 city E is factory recorded at 60 mpg at 55 mph! When mine had just a stage one kit on and an ideal set up, we managed 70mpg at a steady 55 up the M5 and M42! Thrashed - down to 35 mpg. That was with the 2.9:1 diff, city E only.

You really need the vac advance...reconnect it or buy another dizzy with one. You are loosing a lot of low speed torque and mpg.
