The A10 on the Coyote when left in "normal" drive mode would shift 1-3-5 etc. But switching out to sport+, track modes etc would shift normal. Same concept it sounds like.

I am right on target with EPA estimates; I average about 17.5 with my suburban commute and can get mid 20’s on the highway (70-75). Any more spirited driving and mileage drops like a stone

What range are current owners getting between tanks? 13.7 tanks seems like it would be a trip to the gas station every 225-250 miles which really isn't much

Yep, my normal range estimate on fill-up is 260-285 miles and I’m normally filling up every 200-220 miles.

This is one of the only characteristics of the car that I’m not fond of.

Curious since I’ve never seen prior discussions on this…
Why not?

[KC87ZB]

Because it’s a high performance car bought by folks with adequate disposable income. As such we aren’t supposed to care about fuel mileage.

I don’t care about the fuel economy. It’s the range that’s embarrassing.

Hope that’s facetious since BMW goes to great lengths to ensure that isn’t the case.

Less right foot use will make the mileage better 😂

Gas mileage ALWAYS matters. Fleet EPA standards are a thing, and the MPG impacts cost and market offerings. A terrible MPG motor lowers the odds of a car making it to market at all.

Also, frankly, I always thought the logic was dumb. Just because I'm willing to splurge on ONE thing (a nice car), it doesn't mean I'm willing to be gouged on everything else too.

As an example, I can buy a Porsche and yet be mad about their Options pricing. It's still real money.

Small gas tank. The M3 drove me nuts at 15.6 gallons @ 16.8 mpg as a DD, and the M2 isn’t much better for fuel economy with almost 2 less gallons.

Loving the extended fuel tank option on the 992 … almost 24 gallons gets you anywhere between 400-600 miles per tank.

Perhaps the solution is to buy 2, 3, or even 4 M2s and store one 250 miles away for the cost of a 911, 911 GTS, or GT3 with an ext fuel tank!

Available on RWD 992s only, as the extended range tank uses the space taken by the front diff on AWD models.

On the G87, an extended range tank would probably mean rear seat delete or a wheelbase the same as the G82, which would make the G87 superfluous. Alternatively a FWD platform to use the space where the driveshaft passes between the saddle tanks or where the rear diff currently is, could give a larger tank. Current safety standards make the use of space behind the rear diff for a fuel tank as not viable, as it would be in a crush zone.

[JustinHEMI]

What about the weight!?

[Carefree]

For me, it’s about the car. I don’t give a rat’s ass about the mileage or gas prices for that matter. Flame on…………

MPG average since factory -- 3000+ miles -- is 20.9mpg. Car equipped with the 6-speed.

They don’t offer it for AWD, but with 29mpg highway, I have no problem going 400+ miles. I think the computer has said I have over 500 miles of range at some point. If I had rwd 911, I’d probably still get the extended tank. However, I’ve heard people complaining about it rattling.

The M2 fuel economy numbers are published. Fuel tank capacity is also published.

If range is important criteria for a prospective buyer he can work the numbers and come up an reasonable estimate regarding fuel tank range and decide before he buys the car if that is going to be acceptable.

That you are after the purchase complaining about range suggests you didn't look all that hard at fuel mileage/range.

All you can do going forward is when range is important adapt a driving style that is conducive to better gas mileage and thus increased range.

This message sounds a bit condescending and is probably the first I’m seeing from an M2 owner… did I misinterpret it? Are we not allowed to have gripes? There are things we knew (like the lack of colours, ride height, bad range, non-working wireless charger, etc.) that keep being gripes we have with the car. We still love it, and of course we adapt to them. Still wish the range was higher.

And I think my fuel consumption question is answered by a bit more power and weight than the 135i I compare to (135i was 3400lbs and had 400hp, the M2 is 4000lbs and has 500hp). Realistically consumption is just a tad higher, not much more, I have to drive it more to fully compare, and also look at the consumption properly. I’ve only been paying attention to the range, which is the actual gripe come to think of it, since tanks are the same size, I don’t remember needing gas after 300km in the 135i lol it was at least 400km. But anyway, nothing scientific about My comparisons.

You are never allowed to complain!!
Actually I almost bought one and then gave this some real thought. But sometimes details like this aren’t apparent and by complaining you make others aware.
