Default after 6 weeks of owning one...

...it's true, I'm constantly playing the game of "can I get 15mpg while driving to work?" in my new S4. It's the only thing I really am disapponted with. I'm actually using the cruise control anytime I get above 20 mpg, just to get that extra bit of efficiency. What's funny is, in the owner's manual, Audi encourages us to "be environmentally conscious" or something like that while driving! I am so anti-oil industry that it kills me to no longer get 20+ mpg but in every other department, the car is just amazing. One bit of good news . . . my girlfriend lives about 60 miles from me and it's all freeway so I can get about 21 mpg during those commutes (twice a week).
