Wondering about the real world fuel economy of your typical A4 2.0T auto Quattro. I'm seriously considering an '07 as a first Audi purchase.

Thank-you,

 

Mine is manual but I get on avarage 580kms per tank. If I keep the speed under 120kms/hr and dont accelerate hard I can for sure get 680kms

I drive almost all highway

 

Number of KMs per tank is not that useful a metric considering the gas tank size is not even the same for all A4 models (Quattro versus Fronttrak), plus the OP may not know the capacity of the gas tanks when comparing to other vehicles.

Having said that, I have an '06 Quattro with manual tranny and drive mostly city (probably 75%, and higher in winter). I don't drive aggressively. I keep a detailed log book and my fuel economy ranges from an average of about 9.0 to 9.5 L/100km in summer to about 10.5 to 11.0 L/100km in winter. The car's computer is usually about 1.0 L/100km below the actual economy.

On roadtrips (100% highway) I've gotten actual economy as low as 6.5 to 7.0 L/100km.

 

FYI - you can use VCDS to compensate for the error in the cluster display so that the reading is closer to the actual consumption - adaptation channel 3 in the cluster module (#17).

My 2.0T Avant is also manual/quattro and I get around 10l/100km for mixed highway/city driving. Highway only that can improve to 8.5-9.0l/100km depending on how careful I am with the gas pedal

 

My 2.0T Avant is a 6-Speed Tiptronic and obviously has Quattro. I get around 12L/100km and that's with all highway driving with speeds of about 130km/h. I also always drive with the vehicle is Sport Mode.

 

550 in winter it seems and 600-650 in summer. 8-9/100L

 

Also another thing that greatly affects fuel economy is tire pressure. I keep my tires at 42psi all around.

 

6spd manual and mostly hwy, I get around 8L/100km...which equates to 680km/tank..Pretty darn good for a Quattro. B

 

i would agree with you on that one Bobobs... the hwy driving helps to for sure.

 

'06 S4 4.2l V8.......... fuel economy is ****, don't ask!!
