Default B6 S4 US EPA Fuel Economy Ratings: 18/22 Manual, 17/21 Tiptronic

Perhaps as high as 18/24 Manual 17/23 Tiptronic, or as low as 17/22 Manual, 16/21 Tiptronic, but in that range. Best guess based on the following current Audi models which utilize the 4.2L V8 engine:

A6 4.2 Tiptronic Quattro 300 hp 4024 lbs 17/25
S6 Avant 4.2 Tiptronic Quattro 340 hp 4024 lbs 15/21
A8 4.2 Tiptronic Quattro 310 hp 4068 lbs 17/25
S8 4.2 Tiptronic Quattro 360 hp 4068 lbs 16/21

Of course, the B6 S4 should be a bit lighter than these (say 3800 lbs), so the fuel economy should be a bit better.

since my 1.8TQM gets 19 in the city, that S4 mpg sure sounds good for double the power.

Yeah, but the EPA rating for the A4 1.8T is higher than that.
