Default 800 mile highway trip...27 MPG..S4 is such a great car!!!
Perfect for long Higway trips and great mileage for a High Performance auto. My trip computer and actual computed MPG were very close. 27.0 computed miles/gallons, and 27.1 on my car computer. Trip was from New Mexico to Houston Texas. About half the trip @ 79mph and about half @ 76mph. With 235/45/17s on my car the odometer and speedometer are just about SPOT ON when checked with my GPS.

Default I averaged 32 mpg (trip computer) on my 800 mile trip back in Sep.
averaged about 75 mph. I think being catless really helped, i seem to have more power in vaccuum than I had with stock dps.

I got similar gas mileage on a 2800 mile trip from Seattle down to Vegas, and around Cali.

Original brakes? You're kidding, right? I would have gone through seven sets in that period. :-p
