When i purchased my 2014 S5 Sportback i was expecting mediocre fuel economy but i have been pleasently surprised. On a couple of motorway and a road trips the S5 has averaged 34.4mpg and 36.7mpg, on local a and b road trips i have been averaging approx. 24-27 mpg. Not bad economy at all!
 
Sorry m8, I just fill her up with 99 when I need to and pay the bill. I didn't get an S-car and then tune it to bother looking at what I paid. But I'm glad you're pleased :)

You are of course right! Its nice to know though that it is possible to have decent performance and decent fuel economy in the same car dependant on how you drive it.
 
I drive the V8 version so no comment :D
