I am looking at a 24 plate Avant Black Edition 40 TFSI and wanted to ask if drivers of that particular engine/car could advise their mpg?  Most of my driving is in towns, 9 miles each way per day with the occasional motorway run.  Ideally I would love a diesel but I simply don't do the miles for it.  I previously owned a Q5 45 TFSI which I absolutely loved but it was prohibitively thirsty, so am keen not to have that issue again.

Thank you.

Hi. I've gone the other way, A4 40Tfsi to Q5 45Tfsi. I found that around town, I would get high 20's & into low 30's in the A4. On the open road, on a decent run & not caning it, I could get mid to high 40's quite easily. I did see 50+ on a few occasions, but that was quite rare. Significantly better than the Q5, although I have seen just over 40 from the Q5 once or twice.
