2.0 FSI mpg?

[MrW]

Can anyone else out there with a 2.0 FSi let me know what their average mpg is, both driving round town / short runs and on motorway runs?

I've had my 52 plate 2.0 FSI Sport for about 2 weeks now and can't squeeze more than 3mpg out of it on short runs (not had a chance for a full motorway run yet), and that's being so careful with my right foot I'm barely ever over 2,500rpm

Just had a full major Audi service too with new plugs, filters etc so was expecting a fair bit more than that. I thought the FSIs were supposed to be economical, my old Golf 20V turbo was chipped, running 200bhp and drank much less juice!

Is this right?

3mpg!

Are you sure you've not got one of these?

I presume you mean 30mpg?

My wife has an A3 2.0fsi s-line and averages about 30-35mpg on a slow run and 20-25mpg on a blast.

It's not been on the motorway yet either; we don't have many up here.

BTW had a trip over to the Isle of Skye last week and averaged about 25mpg in the S4, nay bad :D

Sorry, meant to say 23mpg :o

My drive to work today, 10 mins in total, free run (no traffic), one small hill and I got 22.3mpg

At this rate I would have been better off saving a bit more and going for the Golf R32 I originally wanted (which I decided against because of high fuel consumption!)

Should of gone for a diesel..... 10 mile trip on my way to work this morning from Manchester to Cheadle, 62.4 mpg. ok i admit i was doing 40 mph most of the way though cos the M60 has roadworks AGAIN!!!

[martinjdw]

That seems quite low, it also seems like short journeys, stopping and starting really hit the mpg quite hard :(

I average about 22mpg in the S4, to work and back, 20 minutes each way, 25 mile round trip on mostly country roads; which I think is bearable.

A guy was telling me, who lived in the centre of Aberdeen, and was commuting to work and back in town that he could only get 17mpg in his S4, but of course he was doing less miles than me.

Not long had one of those myself.
Ive been averaging about 30mpg to work which is relatively clear main roads and 1 short burst up a dual carriage way. Motorway runs are a little better (if keeping below 3 - 3.5 thousand revs but only marginally. 32 - 36mpg instead!

A 2.0L FSI?

There was me thinking it was supposed to be economical!

Well I used to have a 99 GTi Turbo, and now have a 2001 2.0L FSi A4 and have been nothing but impressed with the MPG.

My A4 only has the basic on-board computer so I can't give you the mpg, however I know my GTi would do around 215-miles to £30 of fuel and my A4 will actually do around 230-miles to the same amount of fuel.. So it's actually better, which I wasn't expecting!

Maybe you should speak to Audi?

i have a 2.0 and just worked out my MPG from over the weekend on short trips with the aircon ruinning on low with a fan speed of about 4..

£30 = 140 miles @ 0.969p per litre..

That works out at 18mpg...

Now thats bad... im going 250 miles tommrrow so it should go back to normal on the motoer way with aircon set at 18'c..

My one only does 120 miles for £30. That is even Bad. Im having my MAF Sensor changed to see if it improves!

My god! How do you boys drive :drive:

[RickT]

Right.... im back from Edinburgh.. Just driven 265 miles to half a tank..

I have noticed if i have my air con on "LO" with fan speed 2 the fuel MGP is pretty bad..

So.. my trip as an estimate i have got around 33 mpg.. and for most of the trip i was pushing hard..

Well, after a pretty major service last week and a second round of fixes this week, both from the local Audi dealer, I got 36.9mpg on the way back from the dealer this afternoon. Not bad seeing as I only got 27.8mpg on the way there this morning

As well as having plugs, filters etc changed from the service, the car's also been treated to an ECU software update - it's now running on a full tank of super unleaded too and it seems to idle smoother.

Got a 200 mile journey this weekend so will be able to give a better test then.......

You sure you've not got the world's most stealth RS4?

[shahabudeen]

I HAVE CHANGED THE MAF SENSOR AND ITS GIVING ME 20 miles more for £10. which is not bad and the car runs a lot smoother..

[purplesweetie]

I have a 2.0FSI and I average 29mpg.
I do all sorts of driving during a 25mile trip everday.
I have noticed that under acceleration the mpg goes down to single figures.
I knew I had a heavy right foot, but I didnt know it was that bad.

I picked up a 2.0fsi avant sport a few weeks ago. Very pleased with it, but I've been pretty disappointed with the mpg it's been returning. Even driving as gently as possible on a long run (mainly B roads + motorway), I'm lucky if I can get 30mpg (with the air-con off).

I toyed with getting a tdi, but as the car will only cover a few thousand miles per year, I decided it wasn't worth the extra purchase cost & went for a high spec fsi sport rather than a standard tdi sport (for about the same money). Parkers (their figures have been very accurate for the past 3 cars I've owned) quote 37mpg average for the 2.0fsi.

Normal driving on a variety of roads results in approx 25mpg!!! Makes my Alfa Romeo look positively eco-friendly (never thought I'd be saying that :D ).

Has anybody actually got an fsi that returns more than an average 30mpg or is it just marketing hype?
