Because Porsche gets to lump their fuel economy and CO2 emissions in with the rest of VAG (Volkswagen-Audi Group), and VAG sells eleventy billion fuel sipping Golfs and Polos each year. BMW is independent, so they don't have the huge numbers to pull their averages down. Hence, every model must be a bit more efficient.
Also, even the low-end P-cas are going turbo in the next round. Both the Boxster and Cayman are getting turbocharged flat-4 engines.
