S5 mileage run
 

Anyone actually getting 30 plus mpg highway ? Curious to see if you keep your foot out of the pedal if it’s obtainable !? VA here , so I’m pretty flat , slightly above sea level, gonna try a mileage run but it’s so hard to be sensible.

Last week, on a quiet ride to Ocean City, NJ.:

I was actually up to 32 mpg on the ACE but taking a picture at 85 was causing my wife to threaten a heart attack. Still, this is not the only time I’ve had results like that. Car was in “Auto” mode. It’s a very flat, 2 & 3 lane highway between Philadelphia & Atlantic City. Ocean City is a short run from the ACE via the GSP.

nice, I know it’s hard to do, gonna try my best next outing to achieve the 30mpg or better mark.

Best I've been able to manage so far over a long distance is about 29 mpg but I also live in the hilly and mountainous regions of NC. Do you find you get better mileage with comfort D or auto D?

In the city I am barely averaging 19mpg :(. If I left it in comfort 100% of the time I MAY reach 20mpg. I was really surprised I didnt get better. I have not had a highway trip yet to test it on.

the mileage will get better after 6 or 7 thousand miles. I get about 19 in the city as well but i drive in bumper to bumper traffic. Considering the performance of the s5, i think those mpg # are pretty good. I got 16 mpg with my mercedes cls550 which is slower than the s5.

I got 30.5mpg driving around this morning for about 35 miles, which included lots of easy driving between 50-65mph. I'm not sure how cold it is where you're at, but this is the first time I've been able to get above 30mpg because of the temps. Today was upper 50s.

I've gotten 31mpg one time on highway for 45km. Every other time i usually average 26mpg

I get 30 mpg+ on easily on road trips. Daily average 24.5 (reset 6,000 mile ago) so far with limited highway miles. Few opportunities to hoon about as I am still working off a speeding ticket with my insurance company from 18 months ago. :( . Can't afford another right now.

30+ easily when I go to Tysons Corner. I'm averaging 23.0 MPG combined according to the cars computer.
