Real-world fuel consumption

116 Porsche 911 cars registered in Europe between 2021 and 2024 report their fuel use through the on-board meter. Petrol versions average 14.7 l/100 km on the road, against 12.8 l/100 km in the official WLTP test — 15% more.

What it costs in fuel

On real-world figures the Porsche 911 uses 14.7 litres per 100 km, so 15,000 km a year takes about 2,210 litres: €4,918 at this week's average price in France, its largest market in Europe.
