[Scotty123]

Drove from Manchester to Sheffield other day of was chuffed to get such a high mpg. 1.4 such a great engine!

I saw 1.4mpg and thought an S3 owner had set a new record

Haha just my thought! 56.4mpg is a bit more than you can manage in a S3 though.

Me too lol
I thought, he's been kicking the total ar*e out of that

Me thinks your trip computer is telling porky pies.

The tank is 55L or 12 UK gallons. So 12x56.4 = 677 miles to a tank from an S3 I don't think so!

Try a brim-to-brim fill and reset the odometer to see what you are actually getting.

The computer on my golf Golf GTD has said 70mpg on a few occasions. Mk6 tank = 55L. So 12x70 = 840miles. Yet the most I ever got from a brim-to-brim fill was 630miles. That calculation works out at a genuine 52.5 mpg.

You do know he's talking about his 1.4 TFSI, right?

oops! Now the heading makes sense.

Sorry to burst your bubble. But I can beat that in my 1.8 TT!

Okay so it was 50mph stuck behind a lorry. But still.

I got 63.5 mpg on a motorway run in my 1.4 TFSI saloon, but didn't get a picture to prove it.

If your route was M67 / Glossop / Tintwistle / Woodhead considering the amount of stop start and the slog up and over the Pennines it is a good result. I do that route every now and again and its a right treck

1.4 mpg would be hard to get without just leaving it idling

I did manage a nice 7.6mpg in the RS3 I had for a few days

67mpg or so in my old 150 2.0 TDI, Nottingham to Newcastle was my best.

I think in Dynamic mode in traffic in central london looking at 10-15mpg on the S3?! Does that seem right? I

Ticking away at 1.1k RPM does use petrol. I'd say you could easily get 20 with top start and the lower idle.

Nice dials

80 mile motorway trip in the S3 at 60, 43mpg.

25 mile gentle 60mph plod, 44mpg.

Average tank MPG over 9000 miles? 24
