Same I get around 22-25mpg on my way to work 4 miles in rush hour traffic. Best MPG I’ve ever had is 36mpg on a 300 mile journeyI get between 230 and 280.... I must be doing it wrong

well thought I revive an old thread.
My commute has gone from a few miles each way to 60-70 miles each way.
Managed to squeeze 400+ miles out a tank. Record breaking for me considering the last tank it barely did 250. S3 can be fairly economical when cruising in traffic. There was even 1 day I managed 40mpg. Main thing it was fast enough to get past some slow cars on the B roads.
That’s not far off my old 3.0 tdi a6I still haven't beat my best of 409.6 with ten miles of range left i also managed 43.2 mpg on that drive .
I will be looking to beat it this summer with a drive from Manchester to Goodwood for the festival of speed and back again
Festival speed and economic drive is surely an oxymoron?I still haven't beat my best of 409.6 with ten miles of range left i also managed 43.2 mpg on that drive .

I've had the same in my S3 the shell I normally go to didn't have any v power that day so I had to carefully drive a few miles to the next oneHoly sh*t! 5miles till you run out! Living life on the edge there!

remember my old golf said zero and it kept going for 20+ miles till I chickened out and filled it.
I normally won’t let it run that low but I was in an area I wasn’t familiar with so waited till I got close to my local Tesco to get some momentum.
Only squeezed 51 litres in so it must still have some left. A3/s3 has 55 l tank? Sure I read that somewhere. Such an small tank for something that can be really thirsty.
One of the things I miss on my 272 a6. Full tank could get me 6-700 miles + depending on my commute sometimes close to 800 but filling it was close £100
I managed to get 425 miles in the S3 on going from the east midlands to Edinburgh! it can be done!
Uuff that really bad 180 driving fast n?my average since I’ve had the car has been around 250(mainly short drives) and the worse was less than 180.

You driving a boat mate?....Never bothered me what mpg my car does to be honest. My car just reaches running temp by the time I arrive at work..heats up quicker if I have a heavy foot. haha 'kudos' to those who achieve 400 miles per tank though.Never never ever will l join 400 miles club from a tank of fuel....best l have gotten is around 300 on my 5 days a week commute....defo my car has told me av gotten over 40 mpg on my 26 mile commute home...but that journey is mostly all down hill so a lot of coasting in efficiency mode is done journey starts at around 320 ft above sea level.....a quarter of the journey rises to 870 ft......then the rest of the commute is all down hill to just above sea level.....then again who gives a ****
Great economy for a performance carBeat this
2018 S3 Sportback S-Tronic 310 running a remap and super unleaded. Not even in Economy - just a steady cruise controlled 65mph run. I’ve had higher since, but think it’ll drop now that the season is changing.

I'll give it my best shot to beat it in June driving from Manchester down to good-wood for the festival of speed .
Air con I found drops around 4mpg on long runs for me. Can’t win.I feel your pain.
Curiously the open pano roof dropped 3-4mpg - its more economical to use aircon instead.
Mr Freeze - look forward to seeing the numbers for your Goodwood trip.
I'am setting off to Goodwood fos from Manchester at so I will report back what I get from around tripWell burger me.....

Fantastic for a long motorway run and no dawdling plus ancillary journeys - aircon on most of the way too.
The clench moment was paying for the fill-up up after this......
Will blow out any cobwebs with the next tank.
I got 409 miles with 35 miles of range to use on our trip to Goodwood and back but hit a lot of traffic on the motorway just before BirminghamWell burger me.....
