Default Great mileage....

I got 32.8 mpg on a 25 mile highway trip yesterday. I have a manual A5 with 12K miles on it. Still averaging 25.5 per tank of mixed driving. Not bad!

Default That's cool. The V8...

I revved needlessly today just to hear it. MPG? I didn't look and probably shouldn't. :-) Dang, I love this thing.

Default I've averaged 8.6 L/100 km (27.3 mpg) since I got my A5 a year ago.

That's mostly highway though - probably 75%

I hope you guys are not just getting the number from the trip computer. If that's actually the case then take off 2-3mpg to get your actual gas consumption.
