What kind of MPG do you get on your S4?

[Rez90]

I've got almost 1000 miles on my car and i filled up today and actually calculated my MPG's....

I put in 13 gallons and had 215 miles on the tank which equates to about 16.5 miles per gallon.

Seems low. I was expecting in the low 20's.

My car is a 6-speed.

What do you guys average?

Thanks.

[rich-in-cincy]

I get 20mpg mixed. If I behave on the highway, I can get 27mpg (going 70 to 75).. Winter blend gas isn't helping the numbers.

[boss2k]

15-16 city
25 -- freeway driving during long drives

dont expect anywhere near 20's in city driving

[droopy1592]

Summer gas I've done 27.4 hwy and 23 mixed. Now I'm doing 24 hwy and 21.4 mixed on this winter crap. 6 mt 2013 42k burns no oil.

16-16.5 MPG short haul driving in winter. !7.4 with some short highway legs Have not done any extended highway driving yet. Driving in D .
divided miles traveled by fuel used, not by display. STRONIC

[jlaudio]

2700 mile trip from CT to UT i averaged 29mpg @ 70-75MPH avg. granted the midwest from PA to WY is basically flat.
14-16 MPG around downtown SLC, all stop and go. it doesn't help that my car doesn't warm up by the time i get to work.

city : 12mpg (260km -160miles on my last tank LOL )
hwy : 21mpg

i do alot of city driving but not many clicks. i blame winter and my AWE :)

YIKES!!!!!

[martziniuk]

25mpg winter,30mpg summer. Motorway after a 150mile run can show 39mpg on the display. Uk gallons

[Maitre Absolut]

YIKES!!!!!

im used to it, my last car did more or less the same (slightly better). i only have 4K km, im hoping it gets better lol

i don't know how you guys get better than mpg on they highway, the instantaneous readout while i'm cruising at 120km/h (75mph) is at best 10L/100 (23.5mpg)

[Dr GP]

I have had B8 s4s and get pretty much the same gas mileage on all 3. 17-18 in city. Never more than 24 on the highway @ 75-80 mph. The OP is disappointed. BUT if he bought this performance car with any expectations of routinely getting 20mpg or more, he will be disappointed. This is a supercharged car that begs to be driven aggressively. Aggressive driving does not lead to good gas mileage

[IanCH]

lol 22 overall? I think you guys are reading your gauges wrong, or not driving hard enough. The fuelly average is just about 20 mpg and I personally never really averaged above 18 because I drive my car like an S4 and not a prius.

Oh wow I had no idea. Thanks so much for the insightful and honest info. I went back and fourth between the S4 and a Honda fit and decided on the Audi because it has dual zone climate control whereas the Fit was only one zone.

Guess I should have stuck with the Fit for the MPG.

If only someone had told me before I bought the Audi that it was such a performance oriented vehicle.. . I would have never bought it.....shucks.

OP has a slightly different idea of what a performance car is...I know this because his GTR makes over 1000hp. NBD.

[Zaider]

I average 11.9L/100km (19.8mpg) according to my app.

Ballparking it, id say I average:
City: 14L/100km (16.8mpg)
Highway: 10L/100km (23.5mph)

I dont drive to work, so the car actually gets more highway than city... Installing my roof-top ski box (Inno brand) just dropped my recent fuel economy though. I saw 11.5L/100km on my trip to the mountains last weekend.

[chaos2984]

When my car was new under 500 miles i hit 28mpg easy on the hwy. Right now I'm getting like 17 mpg or so with city driving. And like little over 20 mpg combined. I easily avg over 25mpg on the hwy.

You have to remember since this is a FI engine with the engine building boost will kill your mpg's

[Johnnycash]

not as much as i expected based off of the estimates on the buildsheet/window sticker, i understand there is a lot of variables at play here.

i get 22 average in non winter conditions, about 60/40, 70/30 hwy/city miles, i recently started burning non-oxygenated fuel to see if there is any performance/ fuel economy benefits, especially because the winter blended gas with ethanol in it is shit...

on my second tank of non-ethanol gas and my mpg is good, but i went on a road trip last weekend so the numbers are skewed, will need more time to get a baseline average.

This. I get between 12-15 city, and rarely over 22 on the highway. Pay to play, and who gives a fuck about MPG's anyways? Its an S4 for christ sakes

9 fuel ups - Averaging 18.7MPG - Best 23MPG

[stoked_S4]

Mine shows 16.1 on fuelly. best I got was 27mpg "normal" driving to VA Beach from NJ past summer. Worst was 9mpg "normal" city driving.

~ 20mpg (75% city/25% hwy)

[Waaazooo]

19.56 on 50/50 mix of city and hwy.

My first tank, with mixed roads for my typical commute, calculated at 17.9mpg. DSG & Comfort setting. Winter blend gas is the suck.

EDIT: My second tank improved to 18.6

[SForePlayin']

I've only got a couple of tankfuls into my fuel app. It's showing that I'm averaging 17.27 mpg.

[chaos2984]

Id have to say form he data from NORMAL driving you should average around 20mpg +- I got just recently 27 mpg on hwy with shitty winter E15 fuel. We have all E15 fuel around here its hard to find fuel around here with MTBE vs ethanol. But even so I got 28mpg with E15 summer fuel.

You have to look at their numbers are pretty much complete best case scenario. 100% flat hwy road on cruise control. And the city is slow but normal stop and go spots no traffic.

But unless your getting like 15 or so on the hwy with cruise control then i wouldn't worry about anything.

[Midnight_Rider]

10mpg. If I'm good, 16.5mpg on comfort setting.

I like my compression breaking.

[RickFLS4]

80% highway mostly 75-85 MPH:



Trip computer is consistently overstated so if you want to know check it manually.

I drive like a responsible adult and I average 22 mpg doing 70/30 highway/city.

Clearly should have just bought an A4.

[hotdog453]

Best I ever got was 25MPG after a back-and-forth stint at, literally, 55MPH. 6MT.

Normal average is 20MPG.

[MVR 155]

In the warm months I get 19-21mpg's with the majority (~75%) being around town driving. In the winter months I get 17-19mpg's. On tanks where I do more highway driving those numbers obviously jump up.

Average 18.3
Best 24.3

What's interesting is my best was in the winter on a stage 2 tune... obviously all highway.


OP - use Fuelly if you want to track your mpg's... it's a nice app and easier than doing that math yourself. Obviously it charts it long term also which would be a PITA to do manually...

[mr shickadance]

23-26 during the winter, and 28-30 during the summer.

i don't have a lot of winter driving, i don't really drive the car that hard , and my commute is a 22 mile stretch of winding backroads that rarely sees speeds over 50

obviously when the car is flogged it dips down, but 98% of my driving I see the numbers stated above.

[05blacks4]

always drive in dynamic mode

14-15 city for 91 octane/E85 mix
16-17 city full 91 octane
25-27 highway 91 octane
