On the opinion that "if you drive a Porsche, you shouldn't worry about fuel economy."

"Don't worry about fuel economy."
The other day, a couple of people who are regularly981 Boxster Black EditionWe met with him and asked him about his purchase of the(I'll be posting more about that time in the Porsche Owner's File.)
I have known him for 10 years now, and he is the most energetic person I have ever met.No, I love my Boxster!"I was impressed once again by the "power of Porsche" when I saw him speak with a twinkle in his eye.
What he said at that time left a deep impression on me.
I've been driving it on the mountain roads and in town, and my Boxster's mileage is usually between 10km/L and 11km/L, so I guess it's not bad..."If you drive a Porsche in the first place, don't worry about fuel economy.It's a waste of time to be concerned about fuel consumption. A Porsche is a car that you can enjoy driving as much as you want!
And...I see. It's just that I've heard stories like this not just once or twice.Most of the Porsche owners I've met so far have told me, "You can't worry about fuel economy when you drive a Porsche.I think.
Someone named "Waiting for delivery of Panamera 4E Hybrid" once wrote a comment on this blog.
Personally, I was attracted to Porsche after seeing the 919hybrid at Le Mans and decided on the Panamera 4E hybrid because I wanted to experience their technology. I am not really concerned about eco.
This was the case. My husband also alwaysI wouldn't worry about fuel economy when you're driving a Panamera Turbo."He said.
However, with the change from air-cooled to water-cooled and from NA to turbo, the fuel efficiency of today's Porsches is much better than that of the old ones, and our Panamera Turbo, with its huge body and powerThis fuel consumptionI think it's not a bad idea, though.
What are the opinions of Porsche owners on the internet?
In the first place, if fuel economy is important, it would be better to drive an eco-car, and people who buy Porsche are not looking for "eco" or "good fuel economy"... I was a little curious, so I looked online and found these comments about Porsche's fuel economy.
How much sense does it make to drive a Porsche with a low performance level because you are concerned about fuel economy?I have to admit that I have a feeling that this is not the case.

In my opinion, the Cayenne's fuel economy is not good. I think it is inevitable because of its high driving performance. I think it is difficult to buy one unless you have a good understanding of fuel economy.The Cayenne is an attractive car, and if you own it, you don't care about fuel economy.It is.

I choose a sporty car at a high price point for its performance, and I don't want to see its performance compromised by fuel economy.I know, right?

I see. This time, I collected only the voices of those who don't care about fuel efficiency, but to begin withSurprisingly few articles mention Porsche's fuel economy."It was my impression, and I wondered if that in itself meant that the public did not demand such high fuel economy from Porsche.
What is Goro Okazaki's view?
And upon further research, I found an article by motor journalist Goro Okazaki, who said this. In this articleOkazaki-san's own choice of car.It was written about the
I have never chosen a car based on fuel economy. It is not that I don't care about fuel economy, but rather that I want to drive a car that I like, a car that is fun, a car that suits me, a car that makes me feel good, and if it gets good fuel economy, then I am lucky.

Indeed!!! I thought again that the motor journalist's expression is accurate and professional. I think many Porsche owners have this feeling.
My goal is to buy myself a Porsche in the future.(I've been thinking about the 911 Targa lately), ,That if you buy a Porsche, it's important to make enough money so that you don't have to worry about fuel economy.I guess. I'll do my best.

Hello mina, I'm shimoyannjp and I'm peeking in again today.
Talk about fuel economy. When I used to own a 964, I was younger than I am now, and although it may not matter much, the penalties for drunk driving were much lighter than they are now, so I would make some of my own decisions about whether I could drink and drive, and save my speed for a ride even when I thought it was a bit dangerous.
I mean, I think at the time the drunk man was a habitual drunk driver, and he just happened not to be arrested.
So I drink and go home, but I find myself driving slower at first, but before I know it, I'm driving more like I normally do. And sometimes I decide to take a little detour. ・・・・ I can't write here what happens after that.
Well, I confess that I didn't mind the fuel consumption at all.
Now that I am getting older, I try to drive slowly and calmly on narrow roads, ordinary roads, and multi-lane roads that have recently become more and more common in my neighborhood, as if they were highways... I try to drive at the speed limit plus about 10 km/h in each case. I am ashamed to say that I was arrested for driving 30km/h over the speed limit on a motorway about a year ago, which may be one of the reasons why I drive like that. Last year, for the first time since I got my regular license, I was arrested. I was surprised that the fine was about a month's worth of a small car loan. Haha.
Of course, we will fly it once in a while. It's not good for the health of the engine to keep running at a sluggish pace. So, every time I refuel, I divide the mileage by the number of liters of fuel I have in the car. This may be a kind of habit. I feel like it is a way to see how the car is doing. I rarely drive long distances, so I stay between 5.8km/l~8.8km/l. I have never had the feeling that the fuel economy is not good enough.
Even when driven slowly, the PORSCHE is a fun car. And even if you drive slowly, that does not mean that the fuel consumption is not good. Well~~ I don't mind at all after all (^^).
shimoyannjp.
Thank you very much!
In the end, the conclusion is that now and then, people don't care about fuel economy at all (laughs).
In the past, we used to hear a lot about people who had been drinking a little and then went home after drinking, but that has all but disappeared recently.
I want to give the engine a bit of a spin and run it hard for the sake of the engine.
That said, it's fun to drive slowly.
And it's fun to cruise down the highway.
In the end, I always think that PORSCHE, no matter how far it goes, is a car born to enjoy driving.
That said, there are people like shimoyannjp who know both air-cooled and water-cooled Porsches.
Whether you are an air-cooled driver or a new PORSCHE driver
Since everyone who drives a Porsche of any age says the same thing.
Porsche is once again amazing.
>Every time I refuel, I divide the mileage by the number of liters of fuel that went in. This may be something of a habit.
My husband does this all the time, too. (Laughs.) It's true that he does this more to figure out "how my driving was this time and how well the car is doing" than to worry about fuel efficiency. It's not so much that he's concerned about fuel consumption, but rather that he's trying to figure out how he's driving and how well the car is doing.
