Hi Guys
just curious what's your average mpg during your daily commute? (gentle driving). Not a easy thing to go slow and keep rev counter under 3k!!


with S button off
Mine m40 mornings 23.9mpg
evenings same trip 25mpg

approx 30 miles each way.

~s

Fair play. Mine over the last 9k miles has been 21.7mpg

I'm seeing between 16-19mpg.
Only live 3 miles from work so I'm lucky if I see 4th gear with the volume of traffic.

Costs me a visit to Tescos forecourt once a week for a full tank.
On the R6 I have to fill up halfway through the week, tank is only 1/4 size of the car's but the journey into the office is twice as much fun!

I've never driven for fuel economy so these are average drives with (unavoidable ) bursts of hard acceleration:

London traffic - 16 mpg. 17 if less congested.

Motorway 70-80 (stuck behind other traffic) around 24 mpg.

Hard driving without congestion around 16 mpg.

Local Greater London driving approx 17.5.

I picked up my RS4 on Tuesday evening...trip home at motorway speeds
avg 22.8mpg
1st commute to work (45 miles each way) 24.1mpg...however the 1st 8 miles it showed 14.6mpg, after 30 miles 21mpg. then the 50mph average speed camera kick in.
frustrating drive home with old peeps looking at the countryside in the sunshine...27.4mpg ! and under 40 mph

Does the S button have an influence on MPG?


anyway a long way from the 42mpg I averaged over the last 3.5 years in my E92 335D

Total average: 21.7mpg
A motorway run down to Cornwall on Friday (driving economically): 27mpg

over 8k....23.8

Normal work commute 26

Fantastic for a 4.2!

22

13 miles each way, mix of quick blasts and slow moving traffic - getting 20 - 21 mpg.

I average around 50 mpg

Not really as far as I can tell, it's more for the sound and quick responce

Guys

here are the running costs just for juice either ron 97 or shell 99. I hope I don't put off anyone

total 12 miles per year


Petrol at average mpg 16.5 per every trip, you will need 4 new tyre and 8 pads at the front
£6800

average mpg at 12 mpg every trip not recommeded you might lose the license !
Over 7k

average 23.mpg every trip £4800

the beauty of the car is it's brutal but nimble and flexible for all driving conditions!

Sorry ment 12,000 miles a year, my itouch is rubbish at typing !

think my average over several thousand miles is 22.5 mpg (mix of town and motorway miles)

on a long run on the motorway its about 25-26 mpg with climate on / heated seats on and average 80 ish.

on an average tank I dont bother looking anymore, but driving around town and a little bit of motorway seem to get between 280-290 miles per tank then the fuel filler light comes on, and i only seem to be able to get in 57 litres so prob got about 6 litres in reserve. If I really squeeze the tank, say get about 310 miles outta the tank around town it takes about 60+ litres.

Depending on the traffic levels, and weather conditions, with my pleasant commute over the moors, and across Sheffield I get the following:

Going to work
Best: 31mpg!!!!
Average 28mpg
Worst 22 mpg

Home from work:
Best: 22mpg
Average: 20mpg
Worst: 16mpg

However, on short runs between sites durign the day, the ave mpg displayed is often in single digits
