My experience with the fuel consumption is the following

From Audi:
City: 10.7 Liters ----------- Real: 14.5 to 15.5
Highway: 7.3 Liters ------- Real: 9.5 (85-90 km / h) 12.3lit (120km / h) 15.6lit (160km / h)
Combined: 8.5 Liters ------ Real: 12.5

Disbelieve what you say computer is configured to show lower fuel consumption. Board computers do not believe he knows to lie up to 20% BUT CHECK WHEN refuel your tank.
To correct consumption fuel:
AudiEnthusiasts Vag Com
If I understand the Vag Com site, I need a $350 cable to access the port on my Q5. Anyone in Ottawa have the cable?

I would really like to fix the fuel reading on the dash, which has been consistently 1.0 L/100km more optimistic than the fuel consumption has actually been. Has anyone asked the dealer to fix this?

QUOTE=number9;168133]I have an Audi Q5, 2.0 Quattro Premium

The fuel consumption on the Audi Website is 10.6 L for 100Km of city driving and 7.7L for 100km of highway driving.

My car is very new, for example I've only filled up twice, and I'm getting no where that kind of efficiency.

So the standard tank is 75 Litres of fuel capacity and it's actually my wife that drives it most of the time and she is a very safe driver (no speeding, quick acceleration, hard stops or anything).

Each time that fuel indicator option tells me when I fill up, I start with 760Km, but when it comes down to it I only end up getting about 630K.

I am kind of disappointed especially with the price of gas these days.

Anyone else have any thoughts, comments or experience?[/QUOTE



I just bought an Audi Q5 2014 from the Audi dealer. It is a courtesy car, and has 7,800 kms on it. Fuel consumption was important in my decision and I found that the advertised rates, as you state (10.6 L city and 7.7 highway) were close to my previous vehicle, so I went for it.
I just had the vehicle for 4 days now, drove 80% city and 20% highway, and made my calculations:13.96 L per 100. The calculation was easy, since I left with a full tank, and refilled 222 kms later with 31 liters.
The on-board computer rarely shows a consumption below 15 L per 100 in the city, no matter how carefully and slowly I drive, as an experiment.
So the computer seems OK, and based on my 80/20 experience, it makes sense that the net is 13.9 L per 100.
What does not make sense, it seems, is that actual consumption is quite a bit higher than advertised / expected, and even higher than older models that owners reported on. Wonder what the dealer will say!

What type of gas you use? From which gas station?
I feel ESSO better than Petro Canaada.

Your engine is still breaking in. You need at least 1-2k on your car before the actual consumption starts to kick in.

Default Re: Q5 2.0 T Fuel Consumption

Just to add my experience to this, I swapped my Q5 2.0 which I had for 2 years and it did 40k km. Overall fuel consumption was 10.8 l/100km. The figure quoted by AUDI is 10.5 l/100km city and 7.2 highway. In the first year the car was about 50:50 city:highway. In the second year there was more city driving. I am not an aggressive driver and for most of the time there was only me in the car. So draw your own conclusions!!
