2.7T Gas Mileage

My 2004 A6 2.7T S-Line with 57,000 miles gets around 19 in mixed suburban
driving with a gentle accelerator pedal and about 24 on the highway. Of
course, when I'm having fun, it goes down to 14 to 16 mpg ...

My 2000 S4 consistently gets 31 mpg @ 65 mph on the highway. I use super fuel.

18mpg seem a bit low ,tell me ur driving conditions and i can tell u whether the mileage is correct or not,as it varies depending on the conditions . the conditions include the specifics of your car ,climate control, headlights and Fuel type etc.
Usually the computer mileage calculation has an error percentage of 3.5 to4.5% so nothing wrong with the difference in the readings
