Default What's your highway gas milage in your B5 S4?

I personally have had 32mpg on a trip to kansas from denver. All highway, and cruise control the whole time. Someone on another forum told me it wasn't possible and is arguing with me, so i figured i'd see if anyone else got this kind of milage, or if it was just a fluke.

I don't think it would be impossible to get that mileage. You'd just have to do some economical driving I average 21.6 around city. Never really go on the highway very much so I couldn't really tell ya what I get.

Its possible with the right conditions. Thats what, somewhere near 500 miles on a tank?

I dont really give an F about MPG's, i just know my range is usually 300-400 miles on a tank

Yea its roughly 500 for a tank. Found a thread on Audizine as well. Looks like b5 s4 owners gas milage is as inconsistant as my girlfriend's mood when she's on the rag.
Anywhere from 11mpg to 32.5mpg.

I average 24 with almost equal city/highway driving. If you skip shifts and such that helps but if you are truely concerned, you can buy a JHM 6th gear which makes the gear a little longer = less rpm at the same speeds= better gas mileage.

The vast majority of my driving is on back roads and in town so the 6th gear isnt worth $700 or whatever it is to me. My transmission dosnt like shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear so if im gonna be going 35mph or above i just skip 3rd.

Its funny getting on the throttle and watching it drop from 20 mpg to 15 mpg to 8 mpg, then finally just dashed lines

02AvantImola, That is a MASSIVE pic... Sheesh...

Anyhow, I'd say right now, for whatever reason, I'm getting 21-24... Strictly highway, 25-26. Never gotten above 27. I dont care.
