Nice article based on Bjørn's video I posted last week.
They put a lot of credit on the 19 in tires which is what was said in the video as well, the Porsche range tool on their website does not seem to indicate that the 20in tires perform any worse than the 19th even though they are larger, the only possible explanation I have is that they are lighter but I hope to try them out for myself soon.

I easily get 260+ at 75+ (actually at 80+) on my 20" Pilot Sport 4s.

Consumption at cruise control 74mph is usually around 32.7/100 mi for me. At 84mph it's 34/100 mi.

My last trip with cruise control at 74 was actually under 31/100mi for 120 miles of driving. The worst I've ever had was 36/100mi and that was with multiple 100+ pulls, sport plus the entire way, fast back road driving, etc.. which still equates to 240+ miles.

I think a good rule of thumb is 250 miles of range at 85 MPH, 275 miles of range at 75 MPH, and 300 miles of range at 65 MPH using the Aero 20".

The video is entertaining--once you get past his catchphrase. :CWL:

This is a wild guess but I don't think the driver is a native English speaker. That's the only reason why I can think to explain his generous use of expletives ... LOL.

And yes, I did "like that s$*@" but he should be mindful of his phrasing. I'm not a prude, I just found it annoying.

In German (and other languages including French and Spanish) the "s-word" does not have carry the same, uh ... baggage as in English. It is used a lot more liberally and equivalent to "darn" or similar.

I enjoyed the video (including the beautiful Norway countryside) but his demeanour was ... odd? Too much coffee?
