I have a s5 convertable and get around 350-375 to the tank. Thats mixed highway and city driving. I think i have a 18.6 or so size tank. So thats about 20 miles per gallon. The best I've had is almost 25mpg all highway.

whenever I tested mine, it was around 15 mpg, so that's 249miles on my tank (16.6 gal).I also wouldn't say my car is in great shape, so it should prob. be more than that

Fuel mileage is well covered in the FAQ since this question comes up 10 times a week. Topics linked in the FAQ include several fuel mileage surveys and how to get better mileage.

Closing this topic.
