Despite lopping off two cylinders from 2016’s engines, the four-cylinder 718 Cayman is no more fuel efficient than the six-cylinder model before it. That being said, the 718 Cayman sips fuel at a reasonable rate given its potent performance.

What’s New for 2018?

The 718 Cayman and Cayman S’s EPA fuel-economy ratings are unchanged for 2018. The new GTS trim isn’t as efficient as the other two-at least as far as the EPA is concerned.

We’ve devised our own fuel-economy test in an attempt to replicate how most people drive on the highway. Our procedure entails a 200-mile out-and-back loop on Michigan’s I-94 highway. We maintain a GPS-verified 75 mph and use the cruise control as much as possible to mimic the way many drivers behave during long trips.
