Hardly any difference between post 2019 V6's based on WTLP figures. Must be that GTS owners drive them harder.MikeM wrote: ↑Mon Jul 26, 2021 2:47 pmThe 75 litre tank was standard on the Turbo and now also on the GTS.

It's only about £80 difference - but do I need it?
One thing I'd throw into the mix is this - A mate of mine never used to fill up more than half full as he had a theory that he'd rather fill up more often than waste fuel carrying around 27 kg (37 litres = approx 27kg) of dead weight
Maybe he has a point...

The 75 litre tank has an increased CO2 g/km figure which you can see in the configurator and the final total affects the tax situation. Somewhere in the configurator keeps a running total of the CO2 figure as you option the car.

seems to be pretty evenly split then. it was £85 so as long as it doesn’t put my road tax up by more than a few quid I’ll stick with it. looking on some other forums apparently the 75ltr tank was standard in the US, presumably because its a much bigger country
my pet hate is filling up with fuel so I went for the bigger tank so I had to do it less !
Couple of problems though
1) the shell pay and you go App maxes out at £100 so if it is empty you don't get a full tank
2) If I pay inside with both cars - with the fuel tank at the front of the 911 and the Macan at the back I park them bumper to bumper to do it is one trip - that maxes out at 100l so that doesn't help either!

I like the 75-litre tank: it gives a 460+ mile range (on a long drive) with my 2020 Turbo, but filling it up from near-empty with premium unleaded is expensive!
the cost is the same, its more a cashflow issue
At the moment I guess its a little over £100 for a 75 litre tank full.
My mini would take about 2 months to drink that much. Oh well, back to spending stupid money on cars.
