typically, the highway driving is going to be around 100 miles or so. For city, well, that's a different issue.
My Jag XK-8 got about the same mileage. Keep in mind that the MPG calculations that they quote was developed in the '70s if i remember correctly. Less congestion, etc so for city it was not as much stop and go as today.

I have a B5 S4 and I could easliy buy a 07 B6, andI have beendriven 04, 05, 07 models. While they do lookhot and have nice touque they do not perfom close to mine when it is said and done. Sub 4.5 0-60 runs are easy in the B5, I would have to go RS4 to get the same performance. And the twins are band new courtesy of CPO, they are real and fabulous with an X chip....
