Default MPG on 3.2 quattro?

What kind of mpg are you guys getting out of your b7 3.2 quattros? Best I can do is around 15mpg city, seems really bad to me... Trying to drive as nice as possible and the best I can get is maybe 16

I can go about 240 on a tank

Default He said 15mpg city. I'd bet he gets better than 17mpg in freeway cruise control driving....

It's not uncommon for S4 drivers to get 10 to 12mpg in the city and 7-8 mpg if driving a bit aggressively. I've gotten it down to 5mpg driving extremely aggressively. Using my city numbers it is about 200 miles or less per tank. He never mentioned highway numbers.

i see what you're saying, though his fuel usage does look comparable.

Default Re:Around 20 mixed city/freeway in Chicago

Mine doesn't have the trip computer so I filled up the gas, checked the mileages when the tank was half full, and double the mileages to calculate the usage.

I always use Mobile 93 Premium gas (it lasts longer than Shell).
