best I've gotten is 32mpg on freeways, cruise control on and a/c off.

on average roadways, it's about 25-27mpg. Pretty good for such a heavy car with awd.

i have the 2.0T and I see on the readout around town 15-20. As I drive on the highway, I can see as high as 35. The highway is where the little engine shines.

Not that this is pertinent to the topic of A5 mileage, but I figured I'd post my Fuelly results to make you all feel even better about your mileage...

I'm getting between 21 and 22.5 mpg combined city/highway depending on the traffic. This the actual gallons filled/trip mileage and not the computer. I always reset my trip mileage at every fill-up. I always fill up until it clicks off and stop. I do some of both highway and city roads on my daily commute to work.

Are these numbers from car's trip computer? I travel mostly highway, trip computer displays about 31MPG(I have been very light on gas and brake intentionally), however at the pump, the realy MPG is about 25. I only have 1k on the car so hopefully it will get matter over time.
