Glad you are having fun but how does your comment answer my question?
Welcome to the forum, maybe you need to just go with the flow a little, lots of good info and good people on here, Dieseldoug has just expressed an opinion that mpg is not that important for him, maybe you could share your own mpg experience and driving style to aid the debate!!

On my 8 mile commute to work, I'm getting about 40.1mpg for my 1.4TFSI. On Dynamic.
When I first had the car, I was heavy footed and changed gears quite late due to coming from a Honda. The car is more than capable of handling on low revs and getting to the power when needed.
what Honda did you have ? as i am coming from a crz and before that a 2.2 ltr diesel civic s type gt and get a 1.4 cod and wonder how you found the difference Honda to Audi as a comparison ?

My commute is about the same distance, I usually see about 54mpg sometimes 58 mpg in Dynamic mode, considering this includes warm up and the car has only covered about 1600 miles I am very pleased with these figures.

At the moment I'm averaging 58mpg with 6000 miles on the clock since new. I'm hoping it improves to low 60s. I dont think I will ever achieve the advertised 70s.
Shame on you both. 8 miles!! You should be cycling and saving trees!
I think it would be unrealistic to expect to achieve the 'advertised' figures. They're achieved on a rolling road in clinical conditions purely to allow fair comparisons between various makes and models.
What Car's True MPG and Honest John's Real MPG will give a far more accurate indication of what you are likely to achieve day-to-day. What you're achieving seems realistic as stated above.
Finally, to 'answer your question' it's unlikely to make any difference what 'drive select' option you choose. There's no substitute for changing your driving style. There's plenty of information on the web giving tips on how to drive more economically. Ditching unnecessary luggage, tyre pressures, anticipating and reading road conditions are going to have more impact than a switch on the dash.
