Many have reported better gas mileage in the RS4. The engine is more efficient.

Default I get about 8mpg in the city (NYC) and consistently 22-24 on hw trips. Mixed driving = 18ish.

Unfortunately my car is a tip so that could make a difference..... :-( I have seen up to 27 on a winter trip with dry roads - 4.2's like cold air. :-p
