Mine is running around 24 for lifetime @ 4406 miles. But I live in a suburban/rural area where my car seldom sees traffic and stop and go driving. And my drives are mostly pleasure cruises.

I hope that my new C7 will do better than that! I drove my C6 for 6 years and 80,000 miles and it averaged 19.2. Never once reset the mileage on the DIC.

My C6 was around 18-19 mpg and I would guess my C7 will be the same which means I am driving it like I stole it.

Lola, my 2014 C7 A6 Z51 lifetime is at 21.0 down from 21.3 due to some cold winter driving with my foot playing the 4 Trumpets . The tunes were well worth .3

Hopefully it'll come back up toward the end of April as I travel up to the Bash

Forgive my ignorance on this one, but what MPG averages do they have on the C7? I know now that it stores a lifetime average and I've also seen that it stores your average over the past 25 miles as well, but doesn't it also keep track of a couple of other mileage points too, as well as allowing for one trip average that you can manually reset yourself? I love having tons of MPG info like this, I'm going to be right at home when I get a C7!

Lifetime average of 21 MPG. 4500 total miles. Half of this mileage was a 2200 mile trip cross country and the other half is mostly city driving.

If your main concern is MPG's, you bought the wrong vehicle. I could care less what mine gets.

The question of miles per gallon is very interesting if your into technology. The fact you have 460 HP and can get high millage is amazing. All the things that a C7 will do amazes me because of my history with high performance cars.
I would suggest your reply that it is a "main concern" shows that you are unable to appreciate the total car. No one I know thinks millage is a main concern on a new C7. They do think it is worth mention as part of a highly engineered package.
