Default 6th least fuel efficient luxury car according to Forbes

According to Forbes we have the 6th least fuel efficient luxury car sold today. Besides the lone American entry with the Cadillac STS-V the list is all Audi, BMW, and Mercedes with the latter 2 dominating the list. All the top spots are held by either AMG 55, 63, 65 or regular 600 models as well as the M5 and M6 at the #1 spots.

It lists the RS4 as getting worse mileage than the S4 but I'm almost positive everyone is getting better mileage out of the RS4 than S4 due to the FSI.

Oh well, the extra fuel is worth it for the joy the car provides.<ul><li><a href="http://www.forbesautos.com/advice/toptens/least-fuel-efficient-luxury-cars-story.html?partner=blog">http://www.forbesautos.com/advice/toptens/least-fuel-efficient-luxury-cars-story.html?partner=blog</a</li></ul>

I was going to post that yesterday...not a bad group of cars to be in, despite the fuel economy.

sounds like a moped might be more appropriate for you.
