TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Audi A4 / S4 / RS4

Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2017	Everyone has been switching to turbo fours in pursuit of fuel economy. Despite being such a quick car, the new A4 manages EPA ratings of 25 mpg city, 33 mpg highway with front-wheel drive and 24/31 with all-wheel drive. If you're willing to trade off some performance for even better numbers, and don't require all-wheel drive, the new 190-horsepower "ultra" achieves 27/37. In my driving the A4's trip computer reported averages as high as 36 mpg in the suburbs and 34 mpg on the highway. Mid-to-high 20s happened without even trying to be economical. Lexus, perhaps because it's new to turbocharging, can't match these figures. The IS 200t scores 22/32, while the IS 300 (with AWD) manages only 19/26, a full five mpg short of the Audi. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review

2012	4dr Sedan turbocharged 211hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual AWD	Very surprised! Drive 80 Hwy / 20 City driving. If I watch how I accelerate (cruising speed not so much; I drive 110-125 on hwy). Averaging 6-7.5L/100km. (700+km per 55L tank every fill up). see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review
2011	4dr Sedan supercharged 333hp 3.0L V6 7-speed automated manual AWD	Despite the supercharger and high performance, this vehicle gives me about 6.8l/100km on the highway on average - amazing fuel efficiency. This is a very welcome bonus. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review
2010	4dr Sedan turbocharged 211hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual AWD	Better than expected highway mileage. Averaged 34mpg on a 350-mile trip last weekend, keeping speed to about 60mph. Commuting mileage is acceptable. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review

2009	4dr Sedan turbocharged 211hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual AWD	30mpg is easy to achieve with modest driving, even with the turbo. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review
2008	4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual AWD	Great fuel economy if driven easily, but is a great performer if pushed. Best of both worlds. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review

2008	4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Good tradeoff of performance and mileage. Previous VW 1.8t owner, viewed this as an upgrade. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review
2008	4dr Sedan 420-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed manual AWD	EPA ratings are accurate. I've seen as low as 12 mpg in the city, and up to 22 mpg on highway journies. I average 15 mpg in mostly-city driving. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review

2010	4dr Sedan turbocharged 211hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Quattro and turbocharged engine form a thirsty combination. I would have expected 700+ highway kms but typically get only 600. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review
2010	4dr Sedan supercharged 333hp 3.0L V6 7-speed automated manual AWD	Avg about 18-20 mpg on real world highways. City can be as poor as 12-14. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review
2008	4dr Sedan turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual AWD	The diesel version has MORE torque and power AND has a far better range (about 700 miles for 2L diesel engine), I dislike the 22-24 mpg for the combined driving (mostly city). Those are still good numbers for its class. Sucks when have to pay $3.87/gallon see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review
2008	2dr Convertible 420-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed manual AWD	No 420hp car is going to sip fuel, but the fuel tank is small (14.5 gallons) and thus needs filled too often. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review
2007	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	only averaging 17 mpg see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review
2007	4dr Wagon turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I guess this is average for a car like this. Keep off the turbo and things improve. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review
2007	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Overall fuel economy barely acceptable on premium fuel. Highway fuel economy is fine but city economy stinks. 21 MPG driving 70% highway miles. However, better than Infiniti G35x see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review
2006	4dr Wagon 255-horsepower 3.1L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	not as good as it should be in my opinion, although in line with the (newer more realistic) EPA figures. see full Audi A4 / S4 / RS4 review

Lexus GS Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Comment
	In casual suburban driving the trip computer reported between 22 and 23 mpg, splitting the difference between the EPA ratings of 19 city and 26 highway. When I made the engine sing mpg dropped into the high teens. Slip into Eco and drive the GS like a Prius, and 25 is barely doable. Not bad for a 306-horsepower, two-ton, all-wheel-drive sedan. But the torquier Audi A6 3.0T and BMW 535i xDrive do a little better, especially on the highway. The Teuton's turbos help a little here, but most of the blame/credit goes to their respective transmissions. If and when Lexus fits the GS AWD with the eight-speed automatic already offered in the RWD car, it'll likely catch up. see full Lexus GS review

2009	4dr Sedan 303-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	I have been averaging 26 MPG (indicated) in mixed suburban and highway driving, which I think is pretty good. see full Lexus GS review
2008	4dr Sedan 292-horsepower 3.5L V6 Hybrid 6-speed shiftable CVT RWD	For 340 hp and a 0-60 of 5.2 seconds, I consider an average of 24 in the city and 33 on the highway to be incredible. If you really feather the gas and stick to 65 on the highway you can get around 36-38 mpg. see full Lexus GS review
2007	4dr Sedan 292-horsepower 3.5L V6 Hybrid 6-speed shiftable CVT RWD	Low consumption in city and stop and go traffic Significant fuel savings in typical German highway driving - plenty of acceleration to and braking from high speeds. The hybrid drivetrain minimises the cost of this compared to conventional petrol power see full Lexus GS review
