Default Gas Mileage results after 3 months of tracking...

I have my gas mileage log going here: <a href="http://forums.fourtitude.com/zerothread?id=3175206">http://forums.fourtitude.com/zerothread?id=3175206</a>

<img src="http://is.rely.net/2-31-30182-l-DsDbnNLFb35Fd4jSTX9g.jpg">

From April 9th to July 9th I have filled up 13 times for a total cost of $663.74 at an average of $3.24 per gallon, used 205.01 gallons of gas, while averaging 283.3 miles per tank, a speed of 30 MPH, and 17.97 MPG.

The EPA estimates for the RS 4 are as follows:

Old:
14 city/21 hwy = 17 combined

New:
13 city/20 hwy = 15 combined

Compared to my results, the old estimates are actually much more accurate.

Also, note the error between the actual MPG and the MFA listed MPG. Audi must do this to not make us feel so bad.

It's also interesting to see the direct correlation between MPH and MPG. They practically follow each other perfectly.

Default Very good data...you must drive very smoothly and below 5k rpm

Since your average MPH tells me you don't drive a whole lot of hwy, I don't think you drive your car very hard....???
