RS4 Fuel Economy
to those who have their cars, what sort of average fuel consumption are you getting?
Re: RS4 Fuel Economy
Are you one of these who buys a performance car and worries about the mpg?

Re: RS4 Fuel Economy
Am getting more than that but haven't really opened it up as I just got to 1,300 miles (was following the run in procedures). Overall I think in highway driving it can be a lot more fuel efficient than the b7 but not so much in city traffic or under "spirited driving". Definitely more economical than the AMG 6.2 liter engine

Re: RS4 Fuel Economy
The engine and transmission won't even be close to being runing properly (wrt mpg) for at least 10k-20k miles. You'll always get a lower mpg than a car with slightly more miles... then things start to wear and it drops again.
As for the motorway - the 8 is 7 speed and I would suspect that the top gear is longer than the 6 speed manual. Out of interest, whats the rpm at say 75 mph (indicated).
