MPG (UK) S5 B10 Avant.

So buying a 3 litre petrol Avant was heart over head decision wanting to enjoy this type of car before they become extinct.

I thought the 35MPG factory figures were ambitious like of old but without being overly economic in driving attitude I have seen +40MPG.

I always use E5 and this pictured run was a mix of A and B roads including dual carriageway sections.

I have to admit this is probably as good as it gets but having recently driven a 2.0 A5 B10 petrol and a 2.0 Q5 Diesel the economy of the S5 B10 is pleasantly surprising.

If I do have to be in a greater hurry I see MPG drop to mid 20's and when towing the Wobble Box (1.8 tonnes) - high teens to low 20's are the best I can get but then my A6 C7 2.0 diesel was doing only ~24MPG when pulling the caravan.
