2.0 FSI mpg?

[AudiSport]

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

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?

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..

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 ).

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