It had done 16mpg. If I'm calculating correctly. 55 litres to 470 kilometres
That’s 292 miles and 12 UK gallons, so 24 mpg.
Sorry.
My heavy 2 litre turbo Saab convertible routinely got 35-ish, so not sure what your Audi is doing with the rest.

Ah, right I used some random calculator on the internet. Maybe US gallons... Not that I know what that is!
Even so, I know where my fuel goes... Quattro system matched to very sticky 255 width Michelin 4s tyres, hauling roughly 1600kg around and me having a heavy right foot because I still find it funny how you can mash the throttle in the wet and get flung forward without drama. That and lots of stop start driving, don't get much highway cruising in at the moment.

All this talk of MPG... The other day I filled up the lowly 2 litre Quattro... It had done 16mpg. If I'm calculating correctly. 55 litres to 470 kilometres. Heavy car, full of kids and their crap. Small turbo engine. Not fuel efficient. This is my argument to get an RS4/6...
