RE: RS4 mpg

Riz,
Judging the figures and taking a wild guess, im thinking we should see 15mpg around town etc if you take it easy and will probably see 24mpg on the motorway if we're lucky. I drive mostly town driving and only manage between 18-21mpg in my range rover right now, the RS4 will be a heavy car at 1.7t so guess the MPG is effected quite drastically by that, i am not going to pretend it will not cost a load to run, but we will just get used to it i suppose. I only drive on average 150 miles per week, and £30 a week sees this off easily right now, as long as this remains below £40 a week i will beable to survive with the RS4 to be honest.
On Order: Audi RS5 4.2 V8 Est 450bhp? 08/09?

Bmw 335d Coupe 56/06 & Merc S320 L CDI 56/06

Previous: Audi RS4 B7 06, Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE, All the E46's.. Coupe/Cab/Saloon.
