It all depends on how heavy your foot is, really. B5 S4 is a bit
lighter, so it may get slightly better gas mileage, but the turbos like
to guzzle gas nonetheless. Heck, my 1.8TQ only gets about 19 mpg around
town.

I drive the biturbo, but have had an hour's testdrive in the V8. I
reset most things before I set off (and again when I returned it!!),
and it seemed to return a lower MPG - more so than I'd have expected,
I pretty much caned it as much as I normally do!

Re: What's new S4 Auto owners getting for fuel economy??
Pete, I can afford both the car and the fuel. Not to sound like a tree
hugger, but I do have some concerns for the global ecology as well as our
counties dependency on foreign oil. Yes, I'm in the US. I've been driving
BMW sixes and lately have two VW/Audi 1.8t. Hell, I've not driven a car
since the early eighties that has gotten on average, less than 20mpg. So I
want to remain in that range.
Hey, I was looking for numbers, not some dumb *** remarks. If the car gets
what it's advertised at, I'm all in. But if, as my original question stated,
the numbers are way off, then I'll pass. That's all I was looking for.
Sorry, but dump *** responses like yours really crack ME up!!!

Once again, don't buy a V8 then. Get an electric car or a hybrid.
