16.8mpg on my first tank. But I did a lot of spirited driving.

I guess I should feel lucky... I'm on my 5th tank and last two fill ups I got just over 21 mpg. I'd say 50/50 city highway driving... If I was getting 10 mpg, I'd do a tank of normal not so spirited driving and see what the mileage looks like, if it was still that bad, have it checked out.

Am I lucky, or do I drive like a grandma? I dont think I ever floor the accelerator...

How many miles are you guys averaging per tank before the light comes on?

Don't know if this is following the same suit but there was incidence like this over on Audizine, http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=324608 , a driver was experiencing horrible mileage with a 2010 S5 Cab (V6T), might be some insight there.

~230 for me. I do mostly short city driving. I work about 5 miles from my house (a 10min commute every morning never reaching speeds over 45 unless I go an alternate route).

I can't imagine a much worse scenario than that for average use.

I have about 900 miles on my S4 now, and I'm averaging 19.8mpg. Very little highway driving in that 900 miles.

I'm doing the math...I haven't yet figured out how to change the center display to anything other than the phone or radio.

There is a little button on the underside of the right hand stalk (the one that controls your wipers). Pushing that button will change the little center display.
