Have just looked up mileage figures and converted them both ways ( is US MPG the same as british MPG?)

In town, normal driving, I end up around 16.8 l/100 km, and when cruising along easy on a country road (driving 110 km/h or 68 mph), I get around 11.2 L/100...

This works out to 14 mpg in city, up to 21 mpg highway.

Needless to say, driving 110 km/h in the S5 feels like the car is idling.....

What are your figures in your S5?

I only have 1200 miles on my car but I am getting about exactly the same as you. Filled up yesterday and with combo of small city and mostly highway driving I got 19.0 mpg

Do most of you find the mpg gets better with miles as mine seems to be getting worse at 800 mls? I put that down to the weather, longer to warm up and traffic, nothing but jams-must be the run up to Christmas.

I now have 1600 miles on the car and I think the mpg may be a bit better but not much. Most tanks are 70/30% highway(80mph freeway)/city driving. I have tried to be consistent with fuel used--Amoco Ultimate and with combined driving I am getting 19 mpg.

Holy crap !

Now, now. No need to blow a gasket about petro prices at 12 mpg. With the roads you showed me you should get at least 13 mpg but you will love every minute of it.

US petrol prices with my roads would be a perfect combo !

totally agree
