[s-cars] Gas mileage on your UrS?

[George]

if you have time to watch the fuel gauge with full throttle on RS6+, you are
out of your mind - stock will hit about 182 mph before speed governor kicks
in and it will get there pretty damn fast - no difference with 1 or 4 people
in the car on your butt dyno.

The fuel gauge is NOT linear, not even remotely, and while you have about
half tank on the gauge you actually have about 2/5 or less. Once you gauge
shows less than half it will drop relatively fast - not fast enough to
actually see the needle move while driving though. Digital readout will give
you about 42 liter /100 km consumption at steady 290 km/h on good flat road.

I can tell you that full tank on good day (like Sunday morning) on Autobahn,
stock +  is good for about 70-75 minutes. Best MTM setup will last about 50
minutes (as someone experienced -:)) .....

MPG - about 9 or so ....

definitely design flaw - fuel tank is too small

Actually...there was a review somewhere with a video where a guy with
4 adults in the RS6+ was wide open on the Autobahn and he actually mentioned
you could indeed see the needle move going 100+ mph at WOT.
Now there's some good MPG for ya  :)
