Ultra tdi fuel consumption
- Thread starter hydro
- Start date
On the S4, mine is within 1mpg when I compare it to measured values. Average it’s less than that though, as a percentage probably about 2%? So if yours is the same you’re only about 2mpg less than indicated, that’s pretty good for sure!

85mpg while listening to Basshuner "All I ever wanted" would be a hard thing to do - 
ahah..
I get around high sixtys when I do a long journey, mostly in cruise at about 70~ in my avant ultra (190)

There were large stretches of road works restricted to 50mph. Even so, was a little surprised to see that figure.

And I find being in efficiency mode adds some mpg, rather than dynamic like you are.

I don't think there is much difference between dynamic and efficiency modes when you drive on motorways. The biggest difference you will see is in urban driving where you constantly changing gears and in dynamic it reves up higher and changes gears later. While cruising on motorways the rpm at lets say at 70mph is the same in both modes. At least these are my observations.
I thought the same until I had a 70 mile commute a couple days a week and found that versus Auto and Comfort, the Efficiency setting actually gave me about 10-15% better mpg for the same dual carriageway drive. I don't know why because it didn't seem to have anything to do with the revs specifically as they're generally the same for those settings... Give it a try next time you do identical journeys and see what happens.
I know from my A6 efficiency mode does make a big difference. It restricts the aircon and also strangles the throttle response somewhat, in order to improve economy.I thought the same until I had a 70 mile commute a couple days a week and found that versus Auto and Comfort, the Efficiency setting actually gave me about 10-15% better mpg for the same dual carriageway drive.

Mine will coast in any driving mode, but not when you put into sport on the auto box.
Although it won’t coast all the time, it seems to pick and choose when it wants to do it.

Apologies, i wasn’t intending it to be a question. I was just pointing out what my car does.
