2018 S3 MPG (7-speed S-tronic) report
Did a test today - I drove it like I stole it for about 100 miles - then drove back like Ms. Daisy (kept it at 72 via cruise control).
Car was loaded with 4 people and a full-trunk.
(According to car measurements)
23.5 mpg on the way
30.5 mpg on the way back - I think I could have had 32 or 33 if I was alone in the car.
Pretty cool.

Just drove from SF to LA (and back) drove down at around 75-80 mph, (average 63 mph on the computer) - 31 mpg
On the way back, drove it like I stole it (average 76 mph) - 25.3 mpg
This is a pretty awesome outcome - until I hit the Grapevine (big mountain near LA) - the computer was showing 34.2 - wow.
Anyway, really liking that extra gear.

Do you have 19s or 18s? Would be interested to see the gas mileage difference if there is one.

The best was 30 MPG on a trip to LA - averaged 58 mpg - never broke 70 mph.
My overall over the years, mixed city/highway commutes (50/50) I averaged 19 +/- mpg. I also did math at fill-ups to check, the math always matched the computer.
My 2018 is averaging 22.2 and its not broken-in yet, but I am also babying a bit more than my 2015.

My winters are 19's too - so I can't help there, sorry.

Honestly, I was surprised that Audi mechanically beefed-up the 2.0 motor in the S3 application.
