How many miles do you get on a full tank?

**NyRevenge** · 02-21-2013 03:33 PM

I was wondering how many miles we can get on our gas monsters . I know it depends on city and highway, but i want to know whats the most you have gotten out of a full tank and how many miles do you average on a tank.

The most i ever got was around 300 i think it was mostly highway, i can be off a few. On average, i get a little less than 230 miles per tank and thats mostly city style driving.

200-250. Depends which "heavy right footed shoe" I wear.

~250 on 15 gallons. 95% backroads.

**AznSensation87** · 02-21-2013 03:40 PM

I usually gas up when my car has 1/4 tank left...and at 1/4 I usually have 200-225 miles at that point

**cspcrx** · 02-21-2013 03:40 PM

mine said 412 at last fill up. But I am averaging over 26mpg on mine.
As said above, right foot is the biggest factor along with how much open freeway driving you get.

The answer: Not enough.

**jran76** · 02-21-2013 04:00 PM

Right around 250 miles out of 15 gallons of gas in regular city driving. I can get about 420 miles on the highway out of the same 15 gallons. I am pretty heavy footed with a lot of 80-90 mph driving both in-town and on the highway.

**Maltitol** · 02-21-2013 04:07 PM

I typically use 12 gallons per tank, and get around 240ish. This is with 35 Highway miles and 10 city miles per day average without a heavy foot.

**audisarecool** · 02-21-2013 04:11 PM

My mpg over the life of the car is somewhere around 16-18mpg ... which is around ~250 a tank..seems about right.

i've averaged as high as 29mpg on longer highway trips.

**imola02** · 02-21-2013 04:22 PM

I get around 240. Didn't factor in mpg when I got rid of my B7 A4 along with the right foot factor

**JohnEnglish** · 02-21-2013 04:35 PM

I usually get about 330 miles (540 km) on a full tank. That's mostly city driving with some highway.

**IceAero** · 02-21-2013 04:59 PM

360 highway. 240 city, but I fill up sooner.

**AudiAdi** · 02-21-2013 05:04 PM

About 290 on 14 gallons... mix of about 60% highway, 40% city.

**oc cc** · 02-21-2013 05:11 PM

Damn you people.... I get the same mileage with an A4.....

**VeryBadman** · 02-21-2013 05:15 PM

The best I have ever done probably was about 330 with a tank but mostly I could pull around 240 since I mostly drive 5 miles on the local road back and forth to train station and do long drive during the weekend.

**QuattroLife** · 02-21-2013 05:19 PM

350+, I almost ALWAYS do 65 mph cruise control besides the occasional "lets have some fun" times. I drive mostly highway.

**evergreek** · 02-21-2013 06:05 PM

I get a max of 210 miles on my 13 S4 :/ , this is on a 10 mile daily commute which includes one expressway and some city driving.

**S4morris** · 02-21-2013 06:16 PM

I've never calculated it, but my gas mileage appears to be horrid, but I'm certainly having a good time.

It's the smiles per gallon that count.

Fixed it

**boss2k** · 02-21-2013 06:25 PM

I get 185-200 with a 15 mile commute all city roads and till now the low fuel indicator has not come up even though it showed 30 miles left and the fuel indicator was just above the red line in the fuel gauge , when does the low fuel indication come ?

**Hard Driver** · 02-21-2013 06:28 PM

Maybe 330. I don't keep track of the total miles per tank. I do a long 60 mile highway commute each way every day and was getting around 22 MPG with 80+ MPH cruising, heavy footed driving. Now I am in ticket trouble... I have the cruise control set at 74 and am getting 24 MPG average. I once got 29 MPG on a trip where I forgot my wallet, went somewhere and realized on the way home I was on empty with no money and drove the highway home at 60 drafting trucks.

**ebi718** · 02-21-2013 06:50 PM

Mostly city driving, I get 200 - 230 miles per tank.

220 in the city and 340 on the interstate. My gas light comes on when I have used about 14 gallons so thats when I fill up

**GoNavy** · 02-21-2013 07:07 PM

i average 19-21mpg (based on fillup calculations) so about 280-310 miles on 15 gallons...

**s4ibis** · 02-21-2013 07:53 PM

335 highway miles driven less than economically :)

I get around 275 per tank. Mostly city driving

**sirpickles** · 02-21-2013 10:33 PM

I measured for a while and got 21 mpg.

If it makes you feel any better I average 2 mpg less since you guys put the headers on ;) Can't keep my foot out of it.

**Jones2012s4** · 02-21-2013 11:27 PM

250 give or take. Mostly city driving. I don't feel that bad anymore now that I see people are getting similiar results.

One time I let the DTE go to zero and I reset my trip to see how many miles after the DTE = 0 the car will get. I got over another 15-20 miles out of the car before it quit. I then used the 1 gallon tank I had pre filled to get me to gas station to fill up.

I like to know the limits.

**westwest888** · 02-21-2013 11:42 PM

380 highway.

**RickFLS4** · 02-22-2013 02:46 AM

I avg. just under 23 MPG with mostly highway driving (but more than 65 MPH avg.) and fill up around 300-320 miles. The MPGs are fine, but the tank is the smallest of any car I have had in a long time, so I stop for gas much more frequently than any car I can remember.

I thought I read somewhere it wasn't particularly safe to allow the engine "quit on empty".

The fuel pump will wear over time if you drive it on empty a lot. But it has to be very empty (almost running on fumes) for that to happen.

**jasonE30m3** · 02-22-2013 10:18 AM

I get about 260-270 every tank. that's mostly city with a short 3-4 miles perday on the highway.

MPG is aobut as bad as my Cayenne S was. I was averaging about 15-16 with that and it was 50+ hp and 3000 lbs heavier than the S4. But I'm not complaining because I love driving this car everyday. Best car I've owned so far

**westwest888** · 02-22-2013 10:52 AM

80 miles to a tank on the racetrack.

I only did it once to see what my limits were if I were to ever run into a decision making situation. Car won't be damaged by running out if fuel once. I think their engineered a little better than that ;)
