Quick Poll: MPG under normal driving for RS6??

[Silver TT]

Not that it really matters too much, but I plan to put a lot of miles on the car this next week so was wondering what you guys are seeing for average MPG under normal to slightly spirited driving..


Thanks,

Dan

[Benman]

Normal to "slightly spirited" will eeeeeeeeeeeeeaaasily see 18+...

It is only when you're on the autobahn with George that things go south from there...

I'm not the owner, but don't expect anything under 20l/100km...

Ben, am I wright...?

[Aronis]

I routinely see all around MPG at about 19.7 or so....actually better than my wifes Tribeca (Subaru thingie)....

For long highway rides at 65 mph in drive, no passing......I get about 23

Easy 20-21 to ( going up hill) and 23-24 coming back ( down) - of course always depends on how much passing I do

[gjg]

yeah, I get about 26-28 mpg, when idling ... otherwise about 11-16 mpg depending on where I drive. Long term average 14.3 mpg.

With chip the light foot drive is between 22-24 mpg, now who'd drive like that?

[gregoryindiana]

mixed driving; 18 to 19 mpg.
highway on cruise control, 21 to 22

Cumulative economy since day 1 = 15 L / 100 km, converting to just below 16 US mpg.

you need to define the terms! you are probably talking usa gallons, many would be thinking imperial gallons. so your graph is skewed on the low side...

me, i get 16.3l/100kms long term average, which works out at a tick over 17.4 miles per imperial gallon, or 14.5 miles per usa gallon...

ever so slightly worse than i used to get im my s8. and i don't mind a bit :-)

[DetailersDomain]

for a long trip avg about 75-80 mph I've been seeing 21 mpg. And about 390 miles per tank....

[gjg]

my long term average is 17.5 liter/100 km, that's about 13.4 mpg (US)

[gjg]

for a long trip ....

on a good dry day (Sunday morning for example) on A3 the fuel tank is good for approx. one hour - 1:15 .....

Currently at 10.7mpg ! Central London driving with average speed of around 12mph. My wife's 4.2 a6 avant is averaging circa 17-19mpg for London driving.

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

[aussie rs6]

Around town get 18-20 litres/ 100kms.

out in the country on cruise control at 115 km/h (70 mph) get 10 litres/100kms.

lots of empty wide open spaces in western australia

stock rs6 2003 with 45,000 kms running on pump 98 octane

Andy, see other comments above as sub 20l/100km is easy.

Ah forgot, city driving is horrible when it comes to fuel economy! You're doing good to get 10-12 US miles per gallon.

Just got back from a So Cal Audi Drive in San Diego. We were taking it easy (I had a really good reason) and were averaging just over 18mpg with the boys on all back roads. The drive back netted @21mpg (75-80mph)...

Also, my lifetime average is closer to 17mpg...

Reduce your stops by choosing routes where traffic flows more smoothly.

It's not low speeds at a steady driving pace that sucks up fuel; it's getting the beast going after it stops.

My computer often shows high 20s and even 30 mpg when cruising around 40, for example. But I average much lower than that, around 16 in city driving -- because of the stops.

Cruise control at 83-84 mph get 19+. Havent' done highway with the chip, should be better.

12L /100km is lowest possible i guess. But you have to drive really slow (120km/h and less) to get that. I usually have 25L+ (thanks to autobahn .
