[s-cars] '92 S4 Q's

[Dave Ellis]

I usually get about 18mpg in the city and around 21mpg on the highway. 
What you're getting sounds about right.

Remember that the neuS4 is based on the smaller B5 chassis.  The UrS4 is 
a C4 chassis model;  bigger, heavier, and requiring more fuel to 
accelerate it's mass.

That seems very low to me, I'm surprised it wasn't getting mid 20's or better cruising on the freeway as my old '01 S4 got 28mpg on the freeway with 330hp.  Are my expectations way off here, or is 17/19mpg normal?
