Default Well, the rest is pretty varied. Do you get 218 per tank or 310? 11.7 mpg or 17?

Either way, my S4 gets the same gas mileage as the best here. Again, the differences in mpg, when looking at most RS4s and S4s, is miniscule enough to be considered no different. Very, very strange also, that according to Audi, they both get the exact same gas mileage. But, I guess they're waaaay off.

Default That would explain it! Those things really work! My service tech is installing mine tomorrow.

As soon as she figures out how to read...

Default I doubt that anyone who buys any of the cars on that list ...

cares even the least bit about gas mileage.

Anyone who cares about gas mileage would never even consider any of the cars on the list. ("Oh damn, I was going to get that nice looking Benz/BMW, but now that I know it gets such bad gas mileage, let's get the Prius instead")

Thus, that list is completely useless.

Default You would think that...

But I remember lots of gas mileage threads in the B6 S4 forum back when it was new.

I always found them amusing, folks buying a $50k+ sport sedan (or avant) and then complaining about gas mileage. Especially when back then, the difference between 17mpg and 24mpg was likely under $500/yr... :P

Default don't deal with mpg, the old imperial standard... metric is the here and now, km

i'll get maybe 450km per tank on the s4, and around 550km with the rs4.
have you owned both, or do you just read pamphlets?
