I just came across this thread and I am astonished at some S5 owners feedback. I own myself a 2008 A5 and I have gotten 230-240 miles per tank shifting fast into 6th gear and driving at speed limits, taking my time to commute to work and my commute to work is 98% highway, so there is no freaking way that a gas guzzler V8 S5 will get anything above 200 miles per tank under any whatsoever driving conditions which led me to believe that gd10 may be the only true S5 owner out here.

i'm surprised you get such poor mileage on the A5. the A5 has a slightly larger gas tank (16.9 gallons vs. 16.6 for the S5) and should be getting (real world) at least 19 mpg = 321 miles per tank. i'll post my new mpg once my fuel pump is fixed.

according to other owners that have posted, some are getting well over 200. the mileage will get better, it can't get worse because after the last fill-up it was on a run rate of getting 150 a tank, which is clearly not normal.

My 2011 S5 gets 250 to a tank...driven most in Dynamic mode AND I often am in 4th gear at 65-70 on the freeway....
I am 65% Freeway I would say.
Also....I have heard several times the newer S5s are far better on MPG then the early 08 and 09s.
On fuelly I get a mixed 17 MPG. Even the S4 ownerns that talk about the superior MPG of the V6T MIGHT get 18.5-19. Boost is a bitch.
