I live in New England, and have kept a mileage-tracking spreadsheet on all
of
our vehicles (for god only knows what reasons ;-) Over its life (I've
owned it
since brand spanking new), my S4 has averaged an actual 20.56 miles per
gallon, while the computer-calculated mileage has indicated an average of
21.50 mpg. Not too bad an error rate (4.39%). All fuel used was at least
91
octane; and I'm guessing most of those miles were using 10% ethanol.
The vast majority of my S4 mileage has been on the highway, usually
cruising
at around 85mph in top (6th) gear.
Are you driving an A6 S-line, or ? I expect the 6er is heavier than my
car,
which might explain some of the difference...
Cheers
