When just cruising on a level highway at about 65mph the S4 gets
over 35mpg instantaneous, add a bit of up and down hills it drops a bit
in average but can still reach the upper 20 mpgs.  Add any stop-and-
go city driving or if you get lead-footed, then the gas mileage
drops quickly.  My weekly combined city/highway numbers are usually
around 21-23mpg.  Not too bad considering this is a 6-cylinder car
with two turbos that could go from 0-60 in 5.5s.
