Audi A5 / S5 / RS5 Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 2dr Coupe turbocharged 211hp 2.0L I4
8-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Mileage seems to have leveled out at about 27 mpg with a 60/40 mix of highway and suburban driving. On longer trips, it has been as high as 30 mpg while driving a steady 75 mph. see full Audi A5 / S5 / RS5 review
2010 2dr Coupe turbocharged 211hp 2.0L I4
6-speed manual AWD		 Averaging 9L/100KM, without feeling too conservative. see full Audi A5 / S5 / RS5 review
Audi A5 / S5 / RS5 Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 2dr Coupe 354-horsepower 4.2L V8
6-speed manual AWD		 I knew what gas mileage the S5 got long before I stepped onto the dealer lot. Still, I get 24 mpg on a full highway run. see full Audi A5 / S5 / RS5 review
2009 2dr Coupe turbocharged 170hp 2.0L I4 Diesel
6-speed manual AWD		 Fuel economy is fair when going for a long ride, the car is AWD and heavy. I did however expect a somewhat lower fuel consumption when driving short-distance. see full Audi A5 / S5 / RS5 review
2008 2dr Coupe 354-horsepower 4.2L V8
6-speed manual AWD		 It is not great, and if you have fun with the car, you will get less than 15MPG see full Audi A5 / S5 / RS5 review
2008 2dr Coupe 354-horsepower 4.2L V8
6-speed manual AWD		 drinks too fast when driving is more aggressive see full Audi A5 / S5 / RS5 review
2008 2dr Coupe 354-horsepower 4.2L V8
6-speed manual AWD		 Thirsty V8 coupled with a car that was born to be driven hard equals mid-teen MPG in mostly non-highway driving. see full Audi A5 / S5 / RS5 review

2013 4dr SUV turbocharged 240hp 3.0L V6 Diesel
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Upper 20's on highway and mid-20's in suburbia from a vehicle that weighs 5K lbs. see full Mercedes-Benz M-Class review
2009 4dr SUV turbocharged 210hp 3.0L V6 Diesel
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Other luxury cars/SUVs require premium gas. Diesel could be same or even cheaper than regular gas and with immense torque and a somewhat light foot I get almost 25Mpg see full Mercedes-Benz M-Class review
2007 4dr SUV turbocharged 215hp 3.0L V6 Diesel
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 5000 lbs vehicle. Gets 32 mpg on highway up to 75 mph, faster than that mpg drops. 23 to 24 mpg around town see full Mercedes-Benz M-Class review
Mercedes-Benz M-Class Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 4dr SUV 302-horsepower 5.0L V8
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Have a V8, so I should have expected, but mpg is averaging about 16 around town. With the current gas prices, I dread going to the pump. $90 to fill up the huge tank. see full Mercedes-Benz M-Class review
