I'm at 8000km and I'm averaging 8.4L/100km with the GIAC chip and I do some pretty spirited driving but I'm not in stop-go traffic as much. It didn't start off good but as it's breaking in, it's gotten much better.

 

at 4600km and I get 7.4-8.0L/100km hwy and 10-12L/100km City. So far, I'm pretty happy with how this car consumes.

 

I'm getting under 8L/100km on the hwy which I think is great for the 3.0...mind you that's just @ 100km/hr

 

i am curious if anyone has a 2002 audi a4 1.8
I am gettiong about 10.5 l/100 highway

seems high to me

could it be my Cat that needs replacing?

 

I got my new car last week and only 300km, so still under the break in point and already having 8.0l/km average, highway and city.

Quite happy about it.

 

if ur driving 130+ then that sounds about right

 

Have you guys seen this – what has better fuel economy an M3 or Prius? It’s not that scientific, and a little tongue and cheek, but does help highlight the driving style vs economy relationship. (cleary the prius is going to do better on fuel)

I love this show – so funny. They do a great RS6 Avant review as well

I've put 2600 kms on my 2009 A4 2.0T 6sp manual ( mostly city) and according to my trip computer I've averaged 9.3 L per 100 km since new ( I haven't reset ) . I drive to maximize fuel economy ( to many points right now to have fun ). I've noticed an amazing difference between running it hard and taking it easy so I suspect if your having fun you pay a price . Leave your computer on aver fuel mileage 1 so ytou can watch your average economy per trip - should help you see the effect of different driving styles.

 

The Prius is hurt badly here because the batteries never kick in when it's driven that hard. Which brings an interesting question: even if the batteries can make the car much more efficient at putzing around town, do you really want that sort of transport? The dullness boggles my mind.

 

I agree with the driving style 110% having driven my dad's Infiniti Q45 (4.5L, 340HP/333ft-lb V8 ) for quite some time, I've ranged from 10.3L/100km - 16.8L/100km. Now, if all goes well, I get to pick up my 09 A4 tonight! We'll see how (bad) I do with that one..lol
