My new A5 170 TDI Quattro with only 250miles on the clock is doing 33MPG around town and a run to Grimsby Audi today from Hull (33mile) did 42MPG.
Compare that to the 211 petrol turbo of 22 and 28 i had. figures from the DIS.

Hi Conman,

I have an S Line 2.0TDi 170 saloon and I have done nearly 6000 miles since new. My mpg as measured on the DiS is about 50 and the calculated at each fill up figure is about 47-48. I am not a granny nor a boy racer, but I think I am sensible and do anticipate slow down and speed up events. My mpg has suffered in the bad weather we have had in the North of Scotland lately, but it has not dropped below 43 even in the worst conditions.

Hope this helps

Yep,

Jan 09 S-Line 170...can get well over 50mpg on A-roads if I really try, but real driving gives low to mid 40s. On a short 6 miles urban run to work, I get about 42, on longer runs including motorway, 47/48 is realistic...

OBC is 'on the top side shall we say'

Actual MPG as for my 140 as logged on the www.spiritmonitor.de website is below.

just got back from a trip to the french alps and averaged 44.7mpg over a good 7hrs 550 miles (1 pee stop and 2 tolls) journey with the cruise set at 82mph. Keeping it clean and polished up is good for 1-2mpg i reckon.
Back here though im getting an average of 49 - 52 on a 1.5hr commute. (50-70mph in traffic)
