I've done about 500 miles now.
The average mpg started at around 30mpg and has climbed to about 34mpg. :aargh4:
Just wondering if it'll get any higher?
My B7 diesel used to average about 50mpg :D

Such are the pains of Petrol Vs Diesel on MPG.
I have a 2.0T (Ok not the same as yours) 265PS :D But I average 32MPG during the week and at weekends 14MPG :yikes:
Would have thought that the New 2.0T engine would get around 36 to 40MPG
But come Monday 50MPG from my A5
I have done about 1800 miles now - mostly on longish journeys. Average so far is 32.4mpg !
I am certainly hoping it will get nearer to the claimed 38.2 mpg !!!
Do you guys use the accelerator? On a long drive I get somewhere around 32, and arouund town more like 24. Just over 3000 miles and the total average is 26!
:biglaugh: I bet more than you do ;)Quote:

I've been looking in the brochure and I think Audi's figures are wildly optimistic!
28.2mpg urban - 47.9mpg extra urban - 38.2 combined
They're having a laugh! :aargh4:
They always are! I didn't pay any attention to them and good job too!!Quote:

If you expect to get the numbers in comsumption then you'll be dissapointed.
After 1300 miles I average 32 on the the 30 mph run to work. I managed 38 on a 400 mile round trip of mixed A roads and motorways.
I have done a total of just over 2000 miles in my car now. On a round trip today of approx 190 miles on A14 ,M6, M42 ( and therefore either crawling or doing around 75 ) it avaraged 38.7 mpg . !!
It's definitely getting better as more miles go on clock
300 miles on the clock on my 2.0T Quattro Avant (manual) and am averaging high 20s on mainly shortish country lane runs. I'm sure I've read somewhere (on this forum?) that the Tfsi engines only kick into their lean-burn cycle if driven exactly on the recommended gears (which seems to involve letting it run at sub-1500 RPM much of the time, neatly contradicting the advice in the manual)!
Have noticed that I achieved maybe 2-3 MPG higher once I'd cleaned the dealer's knocking-gas out and replaced it with 98 (currently on BP Ultimate) and power delivery is noticably smoother too.
After several years of motorway hammering in a Ford 2.0 diesel, am just enjoying the experience and trying not to worry too much about the fuel! Have a longer trip coming up soon, which will easily take it beyond the first 1000 miles, so looking forward to stretching the legs a bit more...
I did a 120 mile drive on Sunday, motorway 98% of the way. Pretty clear motorway and set cruise at 70, ac on set to 19 and averaged over 42mpg (according to the DIS) for the journey. Just hit 5000 miles and the fuel consumption does appear to have improved.
I did a 120 mile journey over the weekend and the set the cruise to 75. According to the DIS I averaged 38.7. My cars done just over 1600 miles.
Just as well I set it at 75 as I passed a parked up unmarked black Volvo estate with dirty stinking low down traffic man with his camera out!
Not Quattro but 2.0t B8, now done 9000 miles.
I averaged 45.3mpg from Stafford to Manchester, 70% motorway.
That's the highest I've had it, but if careful get 40mpg quite often....but then careful is also dull and what's the point of having 200+ ponies and not using them ;)

Sorry to revive such an old thread, but interested what was the longer term mpg for your cars? I have another thread about mpg, but found this one really useful.
Hi,
I had a 2.0 TFSi Quattro manual.
The best I ever got on a run was circa 40mpg, but over the 21,000+ miles that I had the car, it averaged 34.2mpg. (I kept records !) That was according to the On Board Computer, which are always optimistic by at least 10%.
So in real world driving you are unlikely to better 30mpg. The good news is fuel is cheaper now than when I had my car!
Hope that is of some help
Thanks that's really helpful. Yeah I always compare cars by what the DIS says as I don't keep figures separately. Honestly that doesn't sound too bad, not vastly different to what I've been used to. I think the post-2012 car I'm interested in might have marginally better mpg on long runs too?
I had a test-drive in an A4Q. Wow. Truly breathtaking car, like being glued to the road, so planted.
However, I couldn't get better than 24mpg on my test run. Ouch. Too thirsty for me - maybe a diesel?
im new to audi but have been driving vw mk4 golf for years my a4 b7 2.0ftsi Quattro is managing the same as your results and that is normal driving 50-60 mph ,my last golf was a mk4 150 ARL and again I was getting 50+mph ,and on a try out when I first bought the Quattro the golf would have smoked it up through the gear range ,
I’m getting around 37mpg after about 10 miles of mixed 30, 40 and 70mph driving with my 2010 2wd 2.0TFSI. It will inch it’s way up to the mid to high 40s on long motorway journeys. The missus hates it lol!
Our 2014 2.0 TFSI (225 version) gets about 35 on the motorway and between 28 and 35 around town. Not great, but it's a rapid 4WD car so kind of expected.
