What kind of Gas mileage would I expect to get from a 2011 Q5 Quattro? Either engine?

With mostly city driving, I'm averaging around 17 MPG, actual calculation, with the 3.2 engine.

I have a 2010 Q5 3.2- average 25 MPG on highway. Always use highest octane gas- which seems to make a difference. Prefer Shell gas based on service manager's recommendation.

Love the car!! Good luck!

Averaging 19mpg all stop start city driving - 2.0 TFSI, but with only 300miles the engine is still not run in.

Funny that the Computer is indicating 18mpg!!!!!!!

I have a 2010 Q5 3.2L with about 6,500 miles on it. 95% of my driving is in and around the city where i am averaging 18.2mpg calculated and tracked on Fuelly. Trip computer #2 is showing 17.9 mpg lifetime for the car, which is close to the real mpg i am calculating. On the few long highway trips i have taken, i have averaged right around 25mpg.

Check out Fuelly.com and search Audi Q5. There are quite a few Q5 owners posting their mileage for both 2.0T and 3.2L

I write down my miles and gallons at each fillup and calculate.
It's 19mpg combined city/highway.
My daily 20 mile commute is 1/2 city, 1/2 highway.

I am seeing about the same mileage on my car - 25+ on the highway (even from Denver to Seattle and back) and 18-19 around town for really short commutes. I have verified the mileage with real data too.

Appears there are not too many 2.0T out there yet?

My dealer (has a lot full of V6 & 2.0 says to get the 2.0)?

on the 2.0. I can get 30 mpg if I keep to 55-60. On my expressway commute I can manage 31-32 when I really really baby it.

I did manage a fine 28 mpg on a 600 mile trip on interstate 44 over Christmas with 4 people and 65-69 mph.

Drive hard in the city and high teens likely but I am rarely in town.

The turbo is likely using more fuel than the 3.2 if you drive it hard. I have no data to support that other than turbos in general.

I had a 3.2 2009 model that I sold then waited a year and got a 2.0 T.

I like the 2.0 better but when passing at 60-80 mph you will miss the 3.2.

Our 2.0T gets around 19 mostly city driving.
On highway trips it gets around 27mpg loaded with 5 people. Mostly driving at 70mph or less. Which is almost identical to the EPA rating. I imagine if the roads are flat it'll pick up another MPG or so.

I've gotten 415 miles out of one tank with 75% highway 25% local on my 3.2.

3.2L, I average:

24 mpg (summer wheels/tires)
22 mpg (winter wheels/tires)

Approximately 60% highway, 40% city. Long highway trips I usually average 25ish. Personally, thrilled with those numbers (coming from a long history of 2.0T A4's I was hoping for the above).

Hope that helps,
tgt

I'm getting about 19.5 mpg (mostly city driving) on my 2.0 that I've had for a few weeks now.

My dealer is telling me the 2.0 is the hot setup for mileage. He also claims its quicker if doing red light races (like my wife will be doing that).
