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

Volkswagen Passat Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2015	Though as powerful as the 170-horse 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine it replaced, and stronger through the midrange, the Passat's new 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine earns significantly better EPA fuel economy ratings: 24 mpg city and 35 mpg highway vs. 22 and 32, respectively. Fitted with the six-speed automatic transmission, the difference widens: 24/36 vs. 22/31. Alas, the Mazda6 scores a bit higher: 25/37 with a six-speed manual and 26/38 with a six-speed automatic. In my real-world driving, I observed similar numbers in both cars, and the Passat managed the highest observed one-time average on my standard route to my son's school: 39.9 mpg. The Mazda's best on this route was 38. More typically I observed averages in the low 30s when driving both cars casually in the suburbs. Push them, and averages can fall into the mid-20s, even the low-20s. On the highway, the Passat's trip computer reported an average of 35, the Mazda6's an average of 36. Too close to call. What is clear is that both sedans deliver much better fuel economy than could be expected when the current Passat was introduced three years ago. This said, those seeking to maximize fuel economy, and who drive enough miles to offset a higher initial cost, have an even better option in the Passat's available diesel engine. The TDI engine has been further improved for 2015. It now peaks at 150 horsepower rather than 140. And it now rates 30/44 mpg with a six-speed manual transmission and 30/42 with a six-speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission; plus owners often beat the EPA ratings. see full Volkswagen Passat review

Volkswagen Passat Real Gas Mileage: Pros

2019	0	As mentioned previously, the Passant starts in second gear unless you push down hard on the accelertor. Since most of the time I did not do that, I got outsanding gas mileage with my just over 500 miles of driving this past week. I averaged 28 mpg. This includes 30 mpg on the highway, and 25 mpg in modest city driving. Overall quite good gas mileage in the warm Florida weather. The EPA estimate for this car is much higher 25 city, 36 highway. To be honest, I never came close to averaging 36 on the highway but then again, I had to run the AC heavily in the Florida heat and the speed limit is 70 mph (I averaged 74 mph). Perhaps the EPA testing was done in Washington DC where they don't need to run the AC as much as I had to and the EPA tests are done at 55 mph? In any case, this gas mileage is quite good for a car this size and I had no issues with it. This is better than most cars I have driven under similar circumstances in the Florida heat. see full Volkswagen Passat review
