Yea my gas mileage drops horribly when I have the ac on in mixed driving like that.
Its the start stop of the city driving that is killing it mixed with the ac, if you can stand it drive with the windows down and the ac off, it improves significantly.

Actually Audi is ahead....
we just have the car that drinks gas. The FSI cars blow BMW out of the water in performance and gas milage. And thats the version thats detuned for our crappy gas.

when i am just driving around mostly small highways and back roads...
with or without AC I am at about 10. When I am out of lead foot mode it goes up to about 13-14. On the interstates I get about 18-19 w/ the AC on.

I average 16 mpg...with about 75% freeway driving
Even with mostly freeway miles, I am either stop and go (cali traffic) or 85+ (off commute hours).
I average 250 - 275 miles per tank.
