That's just the fuel tank venting and balancing itself with atmosphere, quite normal.

FWIW,

Average tank (mixed, mostly <45 MPH) = 220-240
Long Haul (~NSL) = 250ish
DILYSI (lots of ) = 180-200

All figures from brimming full to 0 lights lit on the gauge (fuel light is random and rubbish)

NB: If you are getting more than 250, you aren't trying hard enough!

With V-Power

Driven Hard = 220-240
Driven Nicely = 260-280

I'd be re-mortgaging at 180 miles per tank!

Motorway driving down to Dover is 280miles for me. I do that on 3/4 tank so approx 320-330 miles for a full one & thats not taking it slow either. Have always been impressed with the consumption.

I think we found the problem

When I tracked the Cayman S at Bedford in April I got 10 to the gallon so maximum about 130 miles to a tank (60 litrs) was fun though

the gentle moo-ing is to be expected post spirited driving. Your consumption is probably down to you experiencing it pulling better with the revised airflow, ease off on the right pedal for better consumption.
