Re: What's new S4 Auto owners getting for fuel economy??
Thanks Doug. That's more or less my point. People seem to forget that you
can get performance AND reasonable economy.
I was just asking the question to determine how bad or good the EPA
estimates were for this car. As I stated in my reply to Pete. I
have no problem with the mpg numbers listed on the EPA sticker for the auto,
as that is what I am looking at. But if these are not even close, well then
I'll
pass on this car, at least until FSI comes out and hopefully improves the
mpg. I originally was looking at the V6 with Ultra Sports package. But it
has almost the
same EPA ratings as the V8. Since the price is not a limiting factor, I
thought, why not get the V8, and it's performance if the fuel economy is the
same as the V6.
Wouldn't you? And most people that I've spoken to about the V6 seem to get
better than what it's rated at.
All those who have commended, "if you're looking at a V8, then you can't be
concerned about economy" . Let me ask you this. Would you have still
purchased this
car if the EPA numbers were in the single digits??? Was your criteria really
such that you only cared about having a V8? I'm sorry, but for me, it's not
as Black and White a
decision that it appears to be for all of you who have responded.

It's not about affording the gas, it's about wasting it. 15 MPG is
ridiculous, especially for a smaller car..

That's why they have a CVT-- you get performance AND economy (03 A4 3.0
CVT - 21 mpg city / 28 mpg highway 0-60 in 6.8 secs)
