Default Fuel Consumption

I have a 100 mile a day round-trip commute which includes some heavy New York City evening traffic. Would love an RS4, but would that mean I am refuelling every other day? Will a semi-sensible right foot get me 300+ miles on one tank?

Maybe 250 per tank, but I think 300 might be pushing it in the city.

Default I have about 60 miles each day. I have to fill up about every 3 days.

Some days I drive it like I stole it and some like an old grandma. Depends on how I feel in the morning.

Default My data: city/15.5 mpg; hwy/21-22 mpg; fun in city/13 mpg; WAY fun/11 mpg

I wouldn't get any car with a $2,100 gas guzzler tax if I was concerned with economy, IMHO.

Default the only time I got over 300/tank was cruising at a steady 70mph on the highway.

the kind of traffic you're talking about, 250/tank would be optimistic. honestly, you're probably better off with a A4 2.0T if you drive that much and you're concerned about the frequency of refueling.

Thanks, I commute in a Golf GTI at present, so that would be "more of the same". Was intending to trade the Golf and the Porsche (rarely driven weekend car) for a more lively daily drive.
