Running Cost
Want to know what it cost to run a 944 Turbo as a daily driver? Well check out the list below. It contains all warranty and service records that I received when I purchased the car. I have also listed all work that I performed or had performed on the car including the average mileage. These figures represent an example of what it would cost to keep a 10+ year old Porsche in the condition it was meant to be.
Average gas mileage over 10,200 miles was 19.2 mpg.
