They use plenty, but they've got the same motor. Maybe coupes use more fuel cause they look faster. Or Avants use more cause they're often lugging stuff.What's it like on fuel?
I'm torn between an S4 and S5.
I like both, but with minor tuning with the S4 you will destroy any S5 or RS4/5 for that matter. Plus lower road tax and they are more understared which I like.I can't believe that you are analysing fuel economy to help you choose between an S4 and an S5! Surely the decision should be easier than that. S4's are more common and cheaper than S5s so unless you love the S5 shape then it should be an S4.
B8 S4, 3l supercharged engine.Could you clarify the age of the S4/5 you are looking at - currently they share the same engine so what applies to one applies to the other from a tuning point of view.
There's also the S5 SB - again depending on what age you are looking at.
Likewise, fuel-wise it depends on age. For reference on a recent long trip I was getting ~30mpg according to the DIS (take 5-10% off for actual mpg) and I definitely wasn't hanging around. That said - it's the noise that puts the smile on my face, reasonable (in my eyes) fuel consumption is just a bonus.

@Av4nt - Sorry to disappoint you buddy, but the current S5 & the B8.5 S4 both have the same 3 litre V6 supercharged engine inI dont know much about the B8 world ive not ventured ther yet. If i had a choice between S4 and S5 id go for an S5. Im not a fan of the B8 S4 (only due to the engine) but the S5 looks nice and it has a V8!.
