Had one of these as a courtesy car for a few days.
It was a nice little car to drive in almost every way. However I thought the fuel consumption left a bit to be desired.

I know it only had a few hundred miles on it, but on a 90 mile round trip in relatively light mostly motorway traffic, keeping to 75 or below, I really struggled to eek 41mpg without using the CC and being gentle on the throttle everywhere else.

What happened to the 53mpg combined and 60+ mpg extra urban figures as advertised ??

In my own A4 2.0 TDI driven the same way I would have got touching 50mpg...

If you say the mileage was a few hundred miles, thats probably one of the reasons for poor economy. Makes a huge difference. My A4 drank its first few tanks of fuel whilst under 3000 miles on the clock...but sips them now (relatively).

53mpg combined and 60+ mpg....Maybe in the diesel version lol..
