i have an 07 q7 4.2. 15-16 everyday, and no more than 20 highway. these cars weigh well over 5000 lbs. we cannot expect much more. nobody buys a q7 for mileage, do they?

'08 3.6 with 20" wheels. Get about 17 in the city and anywhere from 19 to 22 on the highway. It depends on speed- at 55-60, 22 mpg is typical, but for maybe each 5 mph you add, you lose about ~1 mpg as you hit the "knee" in the mpg vs. mph curve. On the rare occasions where 80-85 has been prudent (clear traffic, long lines of sight, etc.), it will dip under 18 mpg.
All of this in the context of using a fairly light touch on the throttle as any judicious use of the right foot uses a lot more fuel with not a lot more result in speed, but definitely drops mileage. In other words, with our Q, if you want decent mileage, you do have to work for it.
So Icono, if you are getting 15-ish mixed, my guess is you are having a good time in your S-Line- I would be too :-)

hahaha... on open country roads and mountain twisties i definitely am, sitting at toll plazas or on bridges not so much... but the silver lining is the B&O sound... (the seats could be a bit more supportive they're not particularly luxurious or sporty.)
on the last road trip, i finally got to stretch the legs out once we got out of the city:

I get around the same mpg with mixed driving 70HW/30city (~19.5-20).
Fact: driving while listening to 'coffee house' on Sirius will increase your mpg by 10%, LOL
