This can't be right...
I just bought a 2010 Q5 some 3 1/2 months ago. I just love the truck, BUT the fuel consumption is just TERRIBLE. I'm at 7000 km and my average consumption is 14.6 liters /100 km.
I mostly do city driving, I say 80 % but I'm an easy driver. Is this normal? |
Re: This can't be right...
What's your average consumption according to the inboard computer?

Re: This can't be right...
I have always used super unleaded in the vehicle, and yes I'm checking the right fuel consumption display (number 2). I just checked today it's at 14.7 and I only drive in D not S. I talked to the salesman already but he just gives me the run around. Going for my first oil change shortly... I'll talk to a mechanic ...
What average are folks getting around here? |
Re: This can't be right...
Also I have noticed with my cars in the past that during the breaking in period, the fuel mileage is always higher. Just a thought.

Re: This can't be right...
Sorry to hear Tigger.......our fuel economy did get better with more KMs on the engine.

Re: This can't be right...
I've been getting around 12 l/100km, combination highwY/city even during the breakin period.

Re: This can't be right...
What's wrong with 14.7 l/100km ???
That's my average since i got the car (80,000km ago). But... it's an S4 with the 4.2L... so with a smaller engine you should be doing a lot less. |
