This was a nice surprise given my heavy right foot!

That’s really quite low. I’ve averaged 31.5 over 5k miles , it’s dropped whilst it’s colder outside. Normally it’s in efficient with the odd blast of dynamic .. 75% motorway/ dual carriage way. What types are you running ?Hey there, considering the figures you lot are posting I think mine must have a problem. I've had it for 8 months and done nearly 9000 miles, the long term average which hasn't been reset at all is showing 23 mpg. I rarely reach the magic 30 mpg, even on a motorway cruise at 70mph. I usually drive it in efficiency and normally get about 260/280 miles from a full tank???
As stated in your other post, take the reading from the short term mpg instead...
So I am a bit concerned with my mpg. I have a 2018 S4 and no matter which driver mode I am in I get 8-15mpg every time. I only use shell 93 fuel. The car currently has 2,000 miles on the odometer and had the oil/filter changed at 1,500 miles. I’ve tried driving like a granny and even with a moderate right foot with no change. I do drive in stop and go traffic on a daily basis and the commute is about 8 miles each way. I do use the manual mode frequently when the engine is warmed up. I’ve recently informed my dealer about this and hoping to hear something back. Seeing all these great mpg’s I am bummed. Granted this is my first Audi, and we are starting to see better weather here in NE.

I think that a lot of us posting mpg are in the UK so our gallons are bigger and makes it look better overall. I’ll easily get 8-10mpg in stop start traffic though, it’s the worst case for these cars. Manual shifting isn’t the most efficient in my experience and you’re best just leaving it in the Auto drive select mode (I’d say Efficiency but I don’t think you guys have that in the US?) if you want to maximise mileage I’d say!

Sorry to hear that but there is definitely something wrong.
I've had my S4 since March 25th. I drive a mixture of efficiency and dynamic. In dynamic, when I boot it, I can return as low as 11 mpg but, following a recent trip to Devon and back home, around 700 miles, I averaged 42 mpg at an average speed of 58 mph.
Overall, my average, long-term mpg is 28 which I'm more than happy with.
By the way, after trying a number of different fuels, I have settled on Tesco Momentum 99. Brilliant stuff.
Yup, the long 8th gear definitely helps I'd say!
That's decent mpg, I'm sure that it'll go up a little bit as you put some more miles on it as well. Maybe not a lot, but a bit.
Were you running in Efficiency mode out of curiosity? I find that I can get 10-20% better mpg if I do!
Not only that, the octane ratings are lower too. If this makes a significant difference I don't know. I think we were using 85-87 when we were in the states last month compared with 95-99 in the UK.I think that a lot of us posting mpg are in the UK so our gallons are bigger and makes it look better overall.

Ah didn't realise that!Just bear in mind that the US measures octane differently so although the numbers look different, the standard grades of fuel (as in, not race fuel or something) are comparable.

I wondered if the vast difference in price was related, but I assume that's just massive levels of taxation in the UK.

13k miles on the Clock and an average of 25.4 mpg UK. Best I’ve had so far is 32.6, it’s still awesome fun though and the bank manager & I are becoming great friends!
