Newbie Owner - Newbie Question...

This.

Do the math(s) - is 10mpg at gridlock speed possible?

I know, Dom, but you've gotta be consistent... I should probably update "the rules".

[ArthurPE]

Arthur - yet again you're missing my point. I've said that I hardly ever drive in town (so why say it's exclusively a city stop / go wrong car, car) - I almost exclusively drive it on the motorway or fun roads, but in central London at a snail's pace you can see the needle move faster than the car, and kiss any thoughts of a redline goodbye...
I've never given you a town / city / highway mpg
I've never said I'm getting 150-200 - how, where, what etc. ?
There's nothing wrong with me or my car

For someone so concerned with pedantry, you're inferring quite a lot. Do the math(s) - is 10mpg at gridlock speed possible?

for someone so concerned with facts you sure avoid them
the car seems fine, you, not so sure

what is your point?
0 mpg is possible, idling
infinite is possible, rolling down a hill with engine off

but 10 mpg avg or 150 miles/tank under mixed driving is not, unless there is a mechanical problem or driver abuse
today mine averaged 19 mpg, in town, multiple lights, 4 mile trip (oil never got above 130 F, 7000 rpm limit stayed on) meaning car was in open loop fuel trim
doesn't get worse, still 19

you don't have any authority (nor credibility) around here
the rules are for your amusement only

'FIXED' ? perhaps you should be

Who'd wanna strive for something like that, you, perhaps?

'fixed' ? perhaps you should be

Too late, I've already spawned.

you sure are giving it your best, which isn't saying much

poor kids, but can't blame them, can't choose your parents

Cheers mate!!! I am trying my utmost, I'm not sure what doing but I'm so chuffed you've acknowledged it, I like that you care.

...and don't worry about my kid, he'll be just fine, he'll probably end up with the thickest skin in the world.

Anyways, why so mad, Arthur? We've rename math(s) after you, you're a legend...

your 'utmost' doesn't seem to be enough
don't mistake my boredom with caring, your wife should have taught you that by now

thick skin and black heart, good job
mad or angry? niether, don't try to psychoanalyze soemone over the internet
just don't like what you appear to be, don't flatter yourself, 0 emotional content, just boredom, just like your wifey

*neither
*someone

I'm not married but you're probably both as equally as boring... in bed. I've no idea how to psychoanalyse someone/something so why would you even bring that up? Are you angry and paranoid? If you were really bored you'd prove me right and do as I say by not replying to this post...

now that's a surprise, wonder why no one would want you...better boring than insipid and mean

yes, I'm sure tiger, you're a bedroom legend in your own mind (how many times have you heard 'is it in yet'? too many to count I'm sure) super-stud

angry and paranoid? project much? please spare the kid from your mental malfunctions

no one does as you say and you're never right

[bam_bam]

So you weren't bored, ergo, I entertained you.

You're welcome.

[ArthurPE]

that is one take, albiet incorrect

the other is you are wrong, much more likely based on your record

thanks for nothing

[bam_bam]

what is your point?

infinite is possible, rolling down a hill with engine off

Wouldn't it have to be an infinite hill, do those exist? Also, if the engine is off whilst moving, would MPG be the correct measure, wouldn't the use of MPG require an engine to be running? Sorry, I don't possess an engineering degree so I'm just being curious.

BTW - if I point out that you're wrong, does that make me right?

For the last time, I'm not talking about mixed driving - I'm talking about crawling along. Your 4 miles this morning could typically take me 40 mins - that's certainly how long the 4 miles to my daughter's old school used to take at pick-up time, and hence why we run a hybrid for stuff like that. Admittedly a bridge was out (long term) but before that it was Knightsbridge works, since that Shepherd's Bush roundabout - there's always something...

Brilliant. Might have to make this a sticky or even a global announcement

[RIV]

I've never even bothered looking at my MPG, simple fact is it ain't worth looking at

[Les]

Dom keeping a RS4 in London is like keeping a tiger in a cage.............. it just ain't right man.............. set it free
As far as MPG goes, don't care and I don't believe anyone who buys one of these beasts does
V8's are about many things, none of which involve MPG
Buy it, drive it, love it
