TrueDelta - S5 Gas Mileage

Well, I can't really pin down city driving quite yet, but on a trip from Pittsburgh to Cleveland and back, I managed about 25.8 mpg - all highway.

No hard data, but I think if you go to dynamic mode on drive select, you can kiss any reasonable gas mileage goodbye.

My driving mix hasn't changed; I have a 10-mile stop-and-go commute in the mornings and around 5 miles per day in surface street or fun driving (i.e. WOT). I've noticed the average MPG has gone from 14.0 to over 16.5.

Once the engine seats-in, mileage improves substantially.
