Default Not really,
I tried that experiment and my gas still goes down quickly no matter what. So I just pretty much said screw it and gun it around a lot. Difference that I noted from driving nuts and driving sanely is around 30 miles on the tank. Not a big difference IMO.

Default Yes. Going on boost will cause a loss in mileage.
Of course, you'll need to know when you're actually on boost. Which, in the S4 can be surprisingly often since it can kick in at almost any RPM.

Default more boost requires more air and more fuel....
there will be a difference, although it might not be significant to you.

I'm just wondering whether the 2005.5 S4 eats more gas to the mile than the 2005 version
