How large is the RS6 fuel tank in litres or gallons?

I hope to get an RS6 soon and I just want to be sure of how much thiner my credit card is likely to get with each trip to the petrol station.

Cheers

it is not the volume, its the frequency.....

Highest I've averaged on a complete fuel tank is 34,2 l/100km

Lowest somewhere like 12 l/100km

I recommend you don't bother measuring it. Seriously! Because as soon as you do, you'll start economizing. And what a waste of a 450hp car that would be!

Wouldn't you get 0 mpg when idling? Just asking....

well, highest I've averaged on complete fuel tank was approx. 62 minutes ... and it was pretty damn fast ......

When I drive "normally" I get about 14-16mpg (imp). My wife however gets 22+mpg around town.
On a recent 300mile journey she got 26mpg on the motorway. She was obviously driving like a girl!!

**R_S_6** · February 29th, 2008, 17:01

Its good to get an idea of the average mpg. At the minute i get about 20-24 from my S60R. But i think the decrease in mpg by moving to an RS6 is well worth the extra 150bhp ;-)

Cheers

Is there anyway I can get better economy in town and unleash the beast on the open road?

The first thing you gotta do is assassinate ken livingstone, thats going to save you lots of money!

The second thing you can do is get your wife to push you around London
The third thing you can do is move!

Take it from me- best thing I ever did!

For those of you guys out there who dont know of him, Ken Livingstone is the (Night)mayor of London. He charges you £10.00 a day to drive your car into the central section- whether you work live or play there. Then he charges you £5.00 per hour to park on a meter, and now he has introduced a "low emission zone" if you drive a medium size van it costs £100.00 per day to enter inside the M25 (the main London orbital motorway) and £200.00 for big lorrys. Porsche are sueing him as in 2010 all there vehicles will fall into the £100 per day bracket, and anyone with an S4, RS4, S6, RS6 etc will be charged £200.oo per day.

AND don't get me started on the M4 bus lane.....................

Sorry, bit off topic there

My trip display has always shown an average of 16.5-17.3...it's currently at 17.0 mpg. I give it some gas when I pull onto the highway and such

**Rutkowsky** · March 1st, 2008, 08:03

From memory, in city traffic up to 22L/100km on motorway about 12-13.5L/km
E46 M3 if anyone intrested, city driving 16L/100km, motorway with passes up to 200 (or more) between 8.5 - 10 L/100km

Man, CLEARLY I am driving way too aggressively. I find myself around gjg and sometimes maybe even lower. Time to rein that foot back.

here we go the average per tank:

worse : 7.15 mpg (US) = 32.92 liter/100 km

best: 19.10 mpg (US) = 12.31 liter/100 km
(this was in Austria going from Spittal past Vienna on A10/A2 about 130 km trip average in bit of a traffic one weekend)

my long term (from day one) average is 13.65 mpg (US) = 17.92 liter /100 km. Would be much worse if I did more autobahn trips

Fuel consumption actually improved with MTM chip (off autobahn only

)....

**DuckWingDuck** · March 2nd, 2008, 02:56

Christ, I need to pull out my slips when I get home and look at my averages.

**xotic** · March 2nd, 2008, 11:17

i have a long term average at about 18L/100km
