overall I get about 20 miles per US gallon, with 30% street and 70% highway. ( i guess I drive kinda hard) I use the Sport mode for a combined 15 minutes a month or so.
however, I did manage to get ~ 15 Miles Per US Gallon going 110 miles per hour on cruise control from NY to Virginia.
again, these are all estimates, as i am not a computer. and I only use 93 octane

Just come back from a round trip Glasgow to Newcastle ( Staffs ) a total of 663 miles. Filled the A6 up to the top before I left and headed down all (motorway) with cruise on at 80 - 85 for 90% of the outward journey. Came back a little quicker, mostly 90 with a few bursts of 110 - 130 here n there to relieve the boredom.
On a 70 litre tank topped off I got 663 miles with the comp saying I had 39 left to empty.
Works out at around 45.5 mpg which is close as the trip was telling me 44.7mpg.
All in UK mpg imperial paid for in GBP.....lol
Not bad though eh?
Woulda been nice to take the X but it woulda cost approx £150 - £170 against £60 for the Audi.
She's gonna have to go soon the way fuel prices are going up here.....£1.06 a UK litre today. Thats nearly £5 a UK gallon which at todays exchange rate is a little over $10
Lookin like another Audi diesel or maybe a Ford Mondeo....
