Real S6 Gas Mileage
Can anyone tell me the "real world" gas mileage they are experiencing on their 2016 S6? I am driving a 450hp BMW 550 and am thinking about switching to the Audi. On my BMW I get 14 MPG (the window sticker said 16 / 20) reality is 14 total...(and yes I have a heavy foot) and 90% city driving, thanks!

It depends. My drive to work is pretty short and I get ~18MPG. I was getting ~16MPG in my Infiniti G35x (rated at 17/24). I've done as good as 22.1MPG on that drive, and as poor as 12MPG (bad traffic, lots of idling).
One thing I will say is that the MPG display in the dash is VERY optimistic on my car, and from what I've read, on pretty much all Audis. I've been tweaking it with VCDS but don't have it dialed in perfectly yet.

If you use the power often and drive mostly city then you'll be down towards the bottom of the EPA rating. Most days I average probably 16 MPG (per fuelly) but I always find myself dipping heaviily into the throttle and my daily highway mileage is usually about 1 mile.
