Well my s3 sold a few weeks ago for something a bit bigger and a bit better on fuel. I went for a test drive in a 2011 A4 avant sline quattro 170 on saturday and really liked it and it ticked all my boxes. Now when i was flicking through the mpg readings it seemed quite low ( 28mpg) im going to go an have another look tomorow and try and take it on a longer test drive but should this ring warning bells? I had the pd170 engine in my old golf and used to get around 45mpg, im expeting it to be a little lower due to the extra weight and quattro but what would you be expecting to get?
A4 avant tdi your thoughts and mpg

I have a 2009 170 avant and I average about 44mpg mixed driving and about 52mpg on a run on the motorway.
I made the mistake of glancing at the ave MPG once..
I immediately turned it off in the computer settings and it's been much better ever since.
Probably.

I have a 09 3.0 Quattro and get 50+ on a run if not heavy on go pedal

There are several threads about mpg on these cars. The quattro doesn't help . Pretty much all cars can get good mpg on a run up the motorway. If that car has been doing short journeys in town then it could be low 30's . 28mpg does sound really low though but you also need to look at the average speed and the distance thats been recorded over.
