MPG Help!

[Lunker]

Can anyone help me with 'real world' average mpg of a 2.0 TFSi 2008 A4 cab and expected miles per tank when driving on the motorway?

My company will pay me 21p per mile and I need to understand if will break even of not when doing business miles.

I don't have the car yet, I'm exiting the company car scheme and taking the cash allowance, hoping to buy an A4 cab!

I get 36 on a run approx. about 350 to a tank

Thanks for that, 36 mpg isn't too bad.

Is the 350 miles to a tank mainly based on motorway driving or around town, also is that a full 70 litre tank worth?

That's a full tank. That was me driving to Essex from Leicester. Some running around and back so mainly motorway. Not going much above 75 tho sadly. I get about 280 to a tank around town an about 28 ish but again that's driving like miss daisy lol

On a 70 mile motorway run with the CC set at 80, I tend to get 34 mpg.

I get approx 330-350 miles from a full tank at £85 for standard unleaded, think its approx 64 litres.
That is all town driving and only works out at 25mpg.

I think the 2.0 TFSi are loads better on a decent motorway run and can achieve 36-40mpg if not too lead footed.
I went to Newcastle once, approx 120 miles, and got 39mpg at a constant 75-80mph.

I am going to Cornwall early April and the distance one way is 330 miles. I am aiming for 40 mpg all the way!

Thanks for all the replies!

I'm going for an extended test drive on Saturday, hopefully i can get a good run on the motorway and see what i get.

To be honest, I would base all your figures on 28-30mpg. The TFSI engine isn't the most fuel efficient, especially when you factor in the quattro system!

I'm sure I read somewhere TFSI = 63l tank - TDI = 70l tank

Im pretty sure its 63 for the quattro and 70 for the fwd .... someone can confirm though

I've just checked a few dealer web sites and the 2.0 TFSi FWD all appear to be 70l tanks.

I've been tracking my fill ups for a few months now. I don't have a Cab and mine is FWD but it might be of use. For reference I use my car to commute which is: 9 miles A road, 5 miles motorway and 2 miles in traffic.
