2006	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	It's hard to imagine such a powerful luxury car can get such great gas mileage. On a recent trip to Montreal I calculated my fuel economy to be somewhere in the 27mpg range....incredible! see full Audi A6 / S6 / RS6 review

2006	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Despite the performance of the A6 3.2 it delivers great mpg for such a large car. It excels on the open road. With cruise it is possible to achieve a range of 650+ miles on a tankful. see full Audi A6 / S6 / RS6 review
2006	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	With the FSI and V6, I regularly see 27 mpg in city. And arround 30-32 mpg highway (no A/C on, and cruising at 80 mph). see full Audi A6 / S6 / RS6 review

2002	4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.7L V6 6-speed manual AWD	For a car that requires 91+ octane, it would be nice if it got better gas mileage in city driving (around 16-18 mpg). The mileage on the highway is much better (up to 26 mpg). see full Audi A6 / S6 / RS6 review

TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Audi A3 / S3 / RS3

Audi A3 / S3 / RS3 Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2016	For a car that can get from zero to 60 mph in under five seconds, the Audi S3 can be quite economical. The tested 2016's EPA ratings were 23 mpg city, 31 mpg highway. For 2017, the S3's ratings have fallen to 21/28 for no obvious reason. Maybe the updates pushed the car into a higher test weight class. I doubt the car's real-world fuel economy has changed. I observed 25 mpg in suburban driving (with a light foot) and nearly 30 mpg on the highway. Despite its more powerful engine, the Mercedes-AMG CLA45 scores even better than the 2017 S3 (if not quite as good as the 2016): 23/30. see full Audi A3 / S3 / RS3 review
