Is your plan to take the S3 on track days?
No, just the Nurburgring.
After you have been round there all other tracks don't seem as good. I think it's approx 8 laps of Silverstone to 1 lap of the Nurburgring.
HaHaHa
Bet you've enjoyed every mile of that have you?
Filled up today and the range is showing 395, did almost 40 miles and it is still showing 395.
This is the car i am driving. Note the silver mirrors.
Just because the range says it doesn't mean it's what you get!!
Listen, you drive yours how you like mate if your getting 440 to a tank I have to salute you as that can't be easy, but really you need to boot it up mate (when it's safe to do so obviously) it's great!!
Your car is looking good thoí ½í±
How many miles does your car have on out of interest? I'm assuming it's a manual and you are running it on super / vpower?
It has just over 6,000 miles, it's an S-Tronic and i always use Shell V-Power,
Sorry it was not 410 it was 440 and the fuel computer was showing 43.7mpg.
Wow, that is interesting considering it's an s-tronic. Has it always been that good? What driving mode do you use and is that mixed or all motorway/long journeys?
I was using ACC when i got 43.8mpg.
All this talk of miles per gallon is ridiculous! It's an S3, not a tdi, use it how it's meant to be used!! If you want economy buy a diesel!!
Why should I? I can afford an S3 and like the odd burst of acceleration.
I hate Diesel engines and diesel fuel. It's disgusting.
Cost isn't an issue for me, it's more about choice. I want a car that is economical running about but is then warp factor snot when I need to overtake 10 cars at once.
It's not a personal dig, I just don't understand people buying a high performance car then trying to eek out as many miles per gallon as possible. If it's averaging above 30 it's not being driven right!

Personally, cruising along from A-B with ACC and getting 40+MPG sounds excellent - can I ask what speed you had ACC set on? Then, when the mood/road takes me, being more generous with the right foot (and the lower MPG that comes with it). Ideal mix!
I had the ACC set at 60mph.
Yesterday the fuel comp was showing 42.7mpg when i got to work, ACC set at 60 again.
That's interesting. I usually set mine at 70 so will try tomorrow at 60 and see how I get on. It sounds like that small additional speed could be quite detrimental to fuel consumption!
