been away but I'm back now :)

I have been to the dark side, and in April I bought a Rangerover Sport.

Ouch, anyway, Audi have let me swap it for a nice 08 S5!

Looking foreword to picking that up on the 30th.

I have a question, how easy is it to fit cruse control? is it just the stalk, and clicking the optuion in VCDS?

Also, my S3 used to get 20mpg, and I had the S5 on an extended test drive, which include a lot of 70 / 80 MPH and town stop start. And it was getting 26mpg.

I can not work this out, Is it due to the size of the engine not needing to work as hard, or am I going mad and seeing things???

Anyone have any experience here?

Ta Aspen.

hi, welcome to the S5 club. i fitted cruise control to my S5 myself and is easy to do. apart from the stalk you will also need a steering cowl. vcds does the rest.
i get about 21-22mog according to the dis and thats purely stop start town driving only, on the longer motorway im sure its achievable.

ah cool thanks for the reply.

I have worked out, using my sado excell spreadsheet and normal unleaded vs super unleaded the following:

This car hates regular unleaded fuel,

regular - town driving = 17.5mpg
regular - motorway = 32mpg
combined - 25mpg

super unleaded - town = 21.9mpg
super unleaded - motorway = 34.8mpg
combined = 28.3mpg
