I'm aware this topic has been done to death, so bear with me!
I've spoken to Audi UK about concerns I have over my cars mpg. I've been advised to get it booked in to have it looked at, but the last time i spoke to the dealer they blamed my right foot and the fact it's a bit colder this time of year. I'm hoping a few people can post some figures up so I've got something I can fall back on when the dealer gives me the same excuses again, or maybe just to see if I'm being paranoid!
I've just been out and done about 40 miles with the CC set at 70. I got 32.3mpg average (reset mpg 1).
If S3 owners could reset mpg 1 on their trip comp next time you are on the motorway (or other suitable road) and get an average over a couple of miles or so at a constant 70mph and post here, it would be very much appreciated. 50mph average would also be helpful.
If 32 is the best I can expect under these conditions, then that's fine, I didn't buy the car for it's mpg. I'm more concerned that something is amiss (air leak maybe) that is throwing the fuelling off. If everyone else gets similar then it's just me, but I have a feeling most will get in the late 30's to early 40's. I'm considering getting a remap at some point and want to be confident I don't have any underlying issues when I do.
Thanks in advance!
