Blame the cruise control not me? The car is driving itself

Well done getting over 30, you must have the patience of a saint.
I got 28mph driving on the M42 doing 60mph. Watching lorries racing.
This is a one off though. Just drove to Les Arcs over 570 miles. Would have made it in 2 tanks but the road up the mountain uses about 15 litres to get up it. I usually get 21 average and 18 on a good clear police free day.

What is everyone getting range wise on the trip computer out of a full tank?

If it's sat on the motorway at 75 ish with the cruise on. Surely that's down to the car?

I get about 280-300 in mine on my round trip to work.
It's all mway and annoyingly the round trip is 320 so have to fill up.
I used the B5 and now the leon 90% of the time.

Think that's about 25-26 mpg. 80-85 on mway and few 50 zones

I normally fill up under 200 miles.
But I only fill up as normal and not with pressing the little button. And normally before the empty tank warning comes on ie I put in about 50 to 54 litres when filling up.

I generally get about 150-170 on a full tank but its all town driving really. (150 would be full to when the light comes on) I did a motorway run couple weeks back and remember I got 130ish miles on half a tank (I was impressed with that considering what I am normally used to).

Damn, that's a big commute.

I wonder if it's possible to fit an extended range tank, mad max style.

I got 29 once when the M25 had roadworks round most of it, I was so impressed I took a picture and sent it to my mate who owns a hybrid. Usually its 20-23

This is what I generally see as mpg so I rarely keep the display on that :-) I generally have it on the range remaining

I drive mine everyday to work and average about 22mpg, i get about 250 miles to a tank.
Tbh im more than happy with that, in my old S5 i used to average around 20-21 so somehow im getting better figures in the RS4! :lol:

Only once a week, occasionally twice. Whilst the RS is much nicer place to be - I only use it when I have no choice. Pointless miles that I don't want to be sticking on a charged RS4.
