I assume you're trying to be sarcastic? If not, apologies. If so, f**k off.
But I would point out that a S3 would hardly have gone any faster. Do you drive the M25? Most of the route I was driving in the 4th lane and couldn't go any faster than the car in front.
By total do you mean since new? In that case it's 45 (measured not from the OBC)Very nice
What's the total average?
What's really boring is someone who writes "boring" a lot. Grow up! If you study really hard instead of trolling you might end up with a 3 digit IQ

Yup meant new, or at least since the computer was reset.
Personally I care about mpg... its money after all!
Hence my sad spreadsheet for longer journeys lol
To be added to tomorrow after my 240 mile round trip again

Nice one mate.77 miles from Surrey to Stansted airport, medium busy so cruising at around 60 most of the way round M25, 1.4T COD, pretty good for a petrol engine

Ignore the idiots on here, there seems to be a select few who like to think of themselves as the next big comedian and mock and take the p!ss out of certain posts. I know, boring and embarrassing.
Nice mpg that, more like a diesel than a petrol
Nice one mate.

I guess you’re right, I just find it a shame that some folk feel the need to do it, if I read something I’m not interested in I just ignore it and move on

jesus.. what is with all the hate all of a sudden?.. Nothing sad about seeing how efficient you can push your car, especially when it's saving you your precious money at the end of the day. It actually becomes incredibly addicting trying to eek out every 0.1 of an mpg out of your journey.
Anyway, thanks for sharing this and thanks @oli356 for sharing that spreadsheet.
64.5mpg from a petrol? That's incredible! How did you manage that? I usually get mid 70's going to and from an airport up here in the North, with my highest mpg I've finished with being 88.
Great going from spending £100 a week (this is before the fuel prices jumped up to 1.30+) to £20 all because of the wonderful power of diesel

Kudos for getting 64.5mpg out of a petrol engine, I was just going to post a personal best at the opposite end of the spectrum after a track day (i should have taken a picture ) - 7.4mpg and that included driving on the expressway to and from the track (about 80kms)
7.4?! How is that even possibleKudos for getting 64.5mpg out of a petrol engine, I was just going to post a personal best at the opposite end of the spectrum after a track day (i should have taken a picture ) - 7.4mpg and that included driving on the expressway to and from the track (about 80kms)

An Evo on track at Donny Park was reprimanded for stopping and speaking to his mates….he told the marshalls he had to tell them he was doing 3-4 mpg
I think the term for it is WOT
its a track day at the Eastern Creek Raceway in Sydney, below is the configuration, The track does also have a few sharp rises in it, which helps increase the fuel consumption. We do maybe 25 - 30 laps + plus the drive there and back = a full tank.The original 3.93 kilometre Grand Prix circuit was completed in 1990, complying with FIA category two standards and hosting a number of major international races, including the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix, V8 Supercars Championship and the A1GP.
The circuit was renamed the Gardner GP Circuit on October 21, 2013. Wayne Gardner was World Motorcycle Champion in 1987 and won 18 grands prix during his nine years in GP 500 racing. His success was instrumental in the NSW government building our circuit as a home for the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix.
The track surface is hot mix bitumen, 15m wide on the main straight, and narrows to 12m as it flows through the landscaped hills.
A favourite amongst riders and drivers alike, the Gardner GP circuit offers a variety of challenging bends, curves, turns and straights.
Offering plenty of cornering, braking and passing opportunities, it rewards the committed. Turn one is the fastest on the circuit, and arguably in Australia, with nerves of steel required to tip it in at 200km/h.
@mfl Cool stuff. I was doing some work towards the end of last year in Eastern Creek though never looked into what the track was used for.
Not much around that area though! Was going a bit insane by myself in a hotel in Liverpool. Was a relief when I finished my work there so moved hotel and stayed in Circular Quay for a few days before flying back home...
Love the police cars out in Aus haha.

If your employer made you stay in a hotel in Liverpool, sorry
- glad you got to stay at Circular Quay for a few days, a slight change of scenery !.If you mean our V8 patrol cars, as we no longer make Aussie cars, they are being replaced by BMW 530D and Chrysler 300s - as for the people in them, they ain't friendly British bobbies.
Haha yeah, well I picked the hotel but there wasn't much choice when needing to get an Uber to Eastern Creek, without a long commute!If your employer made you stay in a hotel in Liverpool, sorry

And ah, I now remember my Aussie mate at work saying they aren't making the Holdens anymore or something like that.. They look bad *** haha. A bmw and chrysler not quite the same...
Anyway. Taking this off topic
I’ll just leave this here
593 miles out of a 40liter tank =)
Not bad for 200hp instant torque and a 6sec 0-60 =)

Just you wait when I fill up my car and come back here with my results... I like a good competition
Massively dependant on type of roads you drive - I can get 50+ driving west but 30'ish when driving east to central London
Pretty mixed actually live about 40 miles out of town blast down the A1 . Seems to want to do 60mpg most of the time no mater what you do is an interesting car . The economy in town is better as you are using the electric
Don't plant your foot! Drive efficiently and you'll get efficient results. Whenever I plant my foot, I pretty much always get 50 mpg no matter what

Perhaps you occasionally enjoy driving your car? The A6 3.0TDI loaner I've had for the last couple of weeks has displayed anything from 30 to 48mpg on my 8 mile commute to work. Put your food down and it absolutely gobbles the juice. The average mpg just falls away.
Lol, genuinely interesting thread to see how far the mpg can be pushed, but does make me realise I’m playing in a very different field of dreams. Here are my long term stats (hasn’t been reset from new, so this is the average in an S3, over 6.5k miles, with the usual mix of urban and open road). I’m quite happy with this and I’m no goon when driving (well, usually - but if the right time and place presents itself, then hey 
). I prefer to measure my fuel consumption in smiles per gallon, but then I do c.50% less then ‘average’ mileage, so fuel costs aren’t really on my radar. Begs the question, what are the highest and lowest mpg long term stats for S3’s out there?...
And average speed = 25 mph, ***
Should have bought a SMART car, lol. Who has the highest/lowest average long term average speed then, eh?...
Oh, and let’s be nice to each other on here please - we’re all like-minded folks wanting to share our experiences, and I for one enjoy the diversity of opinion. I might give (and receive) the odd light hearted jab here and there but all experiences welcome in my book

Best for my S3? 42 mpg from Cambridge to St Helens. Average with work which is majority motorway/dual carriageway and a few points to have some fun. Usually around 35mpg. Although current commute into Cambridge. 22 miles from Huntingdon to Cambridge...takes 1hr 45 mins!!!! Averaging about 22-25mpg as all standstill traffic.Lol, genuinely interesting thread to see how far the mpg can be pushed, but does make me realise I’m playing in a very different field of dreams.
