Re: Poor Fuel Efficiency
A trip from Burlington to Niagara Falls and back is a 1/4 tank of gas. A full tank (60 L) will get me 450 Kms on a good day.
Hope this makes you feel better.

Re: Poor Fuel Efficiency
My 3.2 Q5 used to get an average of 10.3/100K, this was about 70% city. I started seeing this at around 8K all the way till the day I sold it when it had just under 19K. On my S4 I am getting about 11.5 which is not bad at all.

Re: Poor Fuel Efficiency
Are you all posting the results from the trip computer? I found that it underestimates the fuel consumption by about 10% compared to what I actually get when calculating fuel economy from fill-up to fill-up.
I have a 2.0T and my actual fuel consumption is averaging 11.2 L/100 km after 5600 km, whereas the trip computer is averaging 10.1 L/100 km.
This is a mix of City and Highway driving since early April.

Re: Poor Fuel Efficiency
Just wanted to give an update. I drove a 1200km drive this weekend (600 there and 600 back). I filled with 94 oct on the way there. I averaged 7.5l/100km. On the way back i could only find 91 oct. I did the trip back at 8.0l/100km. Very interesting. My driving was very similar in both directions. No heavy acceleration or braking. I drove very conservatively in both directions. I'm just wondering if the difference in 91 vs 94 is that great. The vehicle is now averaging 10.3l/100km after 6,500k.
Only bad thing on the trip was that a rock cracked my windshield. Will need to replace it now

Re: Poor Fuel Efficiency
Is it not good when my 2.0T Q5 is 15L/100km, and 100% city driving?!!!!!
But I consider myself a little bit on the aggressive side (I'm 17, pretty much says it all).
Anyways, I find my numbers are very abnormal compared to all of yours.

Re: Poor Fuel Efficiency
No, we're in the same boat, kb. I'm seeing the same sort of numbers at 1,500 km but—on the advice of others here—am waiting until 5k before thinking there is a issue. It has been coming down gradually.

Re: Poor Fuel Efficiency
Just be patient guys, it should come down a bit. I was seeing 13L in 80% city - now is closer to 11L. On the highway however - it shines! 7.5L! That is pretty awesone is you ask me.
I have close to 9K on it now.
