Default Another question for other S4 owners...

What kind of gas mileage are you guys getting? My fuel light came on as I pulled into the office this morning -- I don't think I'll break 275 miles on this tank.

75-80% of the mileage on this tank has been 6th-gear cruising, too.

Should I be putting 94-octane in this thing?

Well, I only have 65 miles on my S4 so far but I'm only getting 12mpg. Must be my driving!

Gas mileage in most new vehicles usually sucks for the first 1000 miles or so. It should improve after that. Anyway, a twin turbo motor is not exactly an econobox. Car and Driver reported fuel consumption at 15.2 mpg in their Sept. comparison. Goes with the territory, I guess. I don't know of a car that is faster and gets significantly better mileage.

18.8MPG so far -- mostly cruising on the freeway, but also a good bit of pedal to the medal

I've got 20.4mpg on this tank. So I guess I'm doing OK....

Well considering that I already average in the 16's with my 2.8QMS, I don't think 16.0 is going to be too much of a challenge for me to reach...
