The 2026 911 Carrera 4 GTS Cabriolet is a focused choice for someone who wants a gasoline convertible with all-wheel drive and does not want to optimize for fuel economy. Plan around 19 MPG in mixed driving, 17 MPG in town, and 23 MPG on open roads. The EPA puts annual fuel at $4,350 and tailpipe CO2 at 469 grams per mile. Those figures make the running-cost trade-off clear before you decide whether this minicompact 911 fits your driving.
What it is
This 2026 Porsche 911 is a gasoline car with a convertible body and all-wheel drive. The EPA classifies it as a minicompact car.
Power comes from a 3.6-liter, six-cylinder turbo engine paired with an automatic AM-S8 transmission.
The numbers
Its defining EPA figure is 19 MPG combined. That means one gallon covers about 19 miles across the EPA city-and-highway cycle.
The split is 17 MPG in city driving and 23 MPG on the highway.
What it costs to run
The EPA annual fuel-cost estimate is $4,350. Gasoline use also corresponds to tailpipe emissions of 469 grams of CO2 per mile.
How it compares
The 23 MPG highway figure is 6 MPG higher than the 17 MPG city figure. Its 19 MPG combined result falls between those two use cases, so highway-heavy driving should use less fuel than stop-and-go trips.
Who it suits
This car suits a buyer who wants a 911 convertible and accepts gasoline running costs tied to a 19 MPG combined rating. All-wheel drive is part of the package.
Trade-offs
The convertible body and all-wheel drive come with a 19 MPG combined EPA result rather than a high-efficiency rating. City driving is the least economical use at 17 MPG, while highway travel reaches 23 MPG.
The EPA fuel-cost estimate is $4,350 per year, and the car produces 469 grams of CO2 per mile at the tailpipe.
Verdict
Choose this 911 if an open-air body, all-wheel drive, and its turbocharged six-cylinder layout matter more than minimizing gasoline spending. The useful planning number is 19 MPG combined, with a noticeable gap between urban and highway use. A $4,350 yearly fuel estimate makes ownership costs easy to budget, while the 469-gram-per-mile CO2 figure shows the emissions side of that choice.
