Just what are the running cost like then?
On a recent 800 mile round trip from manchester-inverness-manchester I averaged 23mpg.
My normal average over 40 odd hours was at 19.9 mpg (2nd screen on the DIS before resetting for inverness)
The worst I've ever achieved is a full tank gone in 65 miles!...around the 5 mpg mark if my sums are correct!
but you've gotta love the sound of the V8

hey - I saw a really sweet looking 51 plate B6 RS4 avant at Fontain - what was the spec on those? Looked the nuts! The B6 S4's are 340bhp NA 4.2 V8's right?
65 MILES! You must have been having one hell of a good time
Hello all, first post but had my S4 2 weeks now and am also loving it, not seen an average of more than 16mpg. Maybe down to new car syndrome? But still worth it, got the Milltek cat back fitted last week - now it sounds like a proper V8.

i averaged 22mpg bang on with my S4's . . . great cars, cant fault them, my mistake was having an RS 6 BEFORE I had an S4. . . the S4 just never had enough power, when in reality it had more than enough, but compared to an RS 6 it feels slow
I have my AMD stage 3 B6 S4 for 5 years. I did Vmax days, loads of track days, lots of thrashing up and down the alps and many laps of the Nurburgring......and I never got it down to 65 miles!!
The lowest I ever had it was actually on a day when I had to drive to work in London. On the commute how I averaged 9mpg due to continous stop start. Even doing that for a full tank would have had me at 110miles for a tank.
How did you lose a tank full in 65miles ??????
possibly the best time of my life!! lol
It was on the A82 between Fort william and Inverness in Scotland
I was 4 up with a boot full of camping gear so was prob a couple of hundred kilo above normal weight.
Full tank (of v-power) at fort william and the light was back on before inverness!
The road is absolutely awesome with bend after bend for 65 miles as it snakes along the shore line of loch ness. If you look it up on google earth/maps, all will become clear!
I were flat out for most of it (revs barely dropped below 4 thou) with Quite a few overtakes in second gear.
So what's the most likely average mileage you S4 guys are getting out of a 'normal' tank i.e. a good spirited drive, commute, etc etc? About 250miles?
i average about 250 miles to the tank but to be honest the car only does 6-7000 a year mileage wise so it isnt that bad FOR SO MUCH FUN
What's the RS4 like for fuel then?
