Mine's a tiptronic. I did actually get nearly 28mpg on a long motorway run once, but normally it's around 20-23mpg. I didn't buy this for economy, but a range of well under 300 miles can get quite irritating sometimes.

I've never been impressed by Optimax in the past. Well, 3 tanks of Optimax later (I've done a lot of motoring this week) and I'm convinced...no more Sainsbury's fuel for the S4! The car seems more lively and the fuel consumption is better too.

Colour? It's Moro Blue. I'll do some photos when the weather improves...

Well, I've had the car 4 days and now used more than a tankful of petrol (at about 20mpg [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] ) and I just love this car. It is everything I wanted it to be and I think I'm going to be doing a lot of miles in this car. Plus points (in no particular order) are that smo...

Unfortunately I can't make 28th January - do these meets take place regularly?

I drove the Martin's demo (ebony Avant) last summer, and really enjoyed it. I was going to order a new one this weekend, but I saw a 4 month old dealer demo with almost the exact specification I wanted, so I pick it up next Wednesday. Can't wait, and as it's already run in I can enjoy it from day on...
