View Full Version : Re Mileage - What can you expect from in town and highway driveing? Ron O 02-16-2004, 10:56 AM Ron O 02-16-2004, 02:09 PM Rakete 02-16-2004, 02:20 PM ok, it is like this...it is directly related to the pressure of your foot....BUT...on the highway I got almost 20 mpg...18 in town...also expect your mileage to increase as it gets broke in. That was with 50 miles on the car....so it is far from being broke in. With my prior Audi's they always picked up 3-4 miles per gallon after a year or so. Rakete 02-16-2004, 02:30 PM I should have been clearer...I drive a RS6..not a S4...

DCI 02-16-2004, 05:27 PM I have 600 miles on my RS6 and my avg. mpg is 16.0, my B6 S4 is was only getting about 17. Go for the RS you wont regret it!! Erich_Bultmann 02-17-2004, 03:34 AM Ron, This morning's trip averaged 20.8 MPG. I drove 55 miles in the dark(lights on, stereo on, driver's side seat heater on #4). The car has 950 miles. The trip cpu was reset before I left with the driving style best described as spirited highway driving; 60-74MPH with some higher pulls. Daytime/Summer mileage should improve. I bought the RS6 strictly on it's performance numbers, mileage was not a concern. Give the RS6 a gallon of gas and It will produce 450 horses for you! That's my perspective. Ron O 02-17-2004, 06:18 AM I philosophically want to spend money as frugally as possible , Perhaps that's why self indulgent purchases that make me smile are possible. Buying gas does not.

I'm easy to please? Paid $1.68 for Chevron ..it was 93 octane..I live in the South...gas is cheap here.. Silver 2.7tt 02-17-2004, 05:23 PM One can afford a NSX or a 911 but doesn't mean that it will suck gas. a friends 911 averaged 25mph to Vegas from LA Erich_Bultmann 02-17-2004, 05:48 PM As some publications indicate. Can't quite stomach McDonalds or Taco Hell though. Rakete 02-18-2004, 01:01 AM Erick, I don't do McD's..but hey, I was in a hurry and Taco Bell was handy....a quick taco and it let me back in my car quicker. Actually my husband was pressed for time. I don't think here in the US that we will see $3/gal. ICONCLS 02-18-2004, 03:22 AM Erich_Bultmann 02-18-2004, 03:32 AM Erich_Bultmann 02-18-2004, 03:54 AM Hope this is not the case. Either way I'll have to dust off my Honda Civic and do my part for the environment. |
