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 - in US MPG

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

What are your figures in your S5?

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.

Mine is probably getting 12-13 mpg in the cold, doing mainly city driving now short distances/ stops/ starts... - but i can get the previous mileage figures I showed earlier if I am very careful - driving normally, in town, without stop/start too much, I probavly get 16mpg.

So probably similar to your driving conditions....

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

Mine has dropped to just over 14 mpg in the cold weather. The short runs with front and rear heated seats on, heating etc are taking their toll. My long term average has fallen back to under 17 again at 16.7mpg. It was heading towards 20 before the cold spells.

Drat, is that urban or a mixed route?

Aiden,

It's beginning to sound like you're leaning back towards the 3.0 TDi. Stop prevaricating about the bush (to mix my metaphors!) and get that order in!

You've got to decide one way or the other sooner or later - best make it sooner as the waiting time for delivery isn't getting any shorter!
