I've got an 2016 Audi A4.
Audi claims 22mpg city, 32mpg highway and 26mpg combined.
What I see is 24mpg city, 31mpg highway and 26mpg combined; I don't drive especially slow either. FWIW, I factory ordered a manual transmission so that may make a difference.
I'm skeptical of cars that claim crazy high MPG ratings and performance cars claiming good MPG numbers, but for a standard car I do expect the numbers to be achievable. I've gone through a lot of cars over the years and I've gotten very close to the published numbers on all but one (Cadillac CTS).
- switch007 11y agoThose numbers (37.2 miles per imperial gallon) are in the 3.0 TDI territory for Audi in the British(/EU?) market. Many would be disappointed with 37.2 highway for any 2.0 diesel engine: look at the 'Real MPG Avg' column at http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/realmpg/audi/a4-b8-2008 http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/realmpg/audi/a4-b8-2008
- anthony_d 11y agoI don't think they're especially good or bad, my point was just that they are almost exactly what Audi claimed. After the VW news I'm rather happy I went with petrol. Actually I never gave diesel a thought because Audi doesn't sell A3 or A4 diesels in the US (at least dealers don't have them and the website doesn't show them).
- david-given 11y ago(You need to specify whether you're US or UK. Different gallon sizes! It makes US MPG ratings seem significantly worse than UK ones.)
- JoeAltmaier 11y agoAnd those darn Europeans measure it in liters-per-100-kilometer, just to make it worse!
- anthony_d 11y agoYeah, I always forget about that. I'm in the US so I'm allowed to forget about the rest of the world, right?
