I can't give any great data but at 242 miles I filled up and it took 13.2 gallons. That was a mixed drive from Maryland to New Jersey (about 70 miles of back roads) and a great deal of my highway time was in different gears. It also includes ~30 miles of around town.
So...18.3 mpg on the first fill up.

With only 200 miles on it my wife and I took a four day trip from the Fort worth Tx. area to the Baloon Festival in Albuquerque N.M. On the 50 mile rotating basis we got at worst 28 mpg and at best almost 33 mpg. We averaged in the upper 70s to the low 80's. At lowest mpg we had a very strong headwind. I might add that we had the back completely loaded with suitcases, ice chest etc. The car is a base C7 A6.

Z51, automatic, 2,500 miles.... overall average is about 23 mpg.
On a trip from Wisconsin to Eureka Springs we averaged 26.7 on the highway. Not what I had hoped for, but I guess I didn't buy the car for fuel economy. The instant mpg doesn't seem to change much between V4 and V8 modes. I'm hoping it will improve, but will not complain if it doesn't.

Mine is a Z51 A6 with 700+ miles. Up till now I've spent about 75% of my time in Sport Mode, the rest in Touring Mode. Average mpg has been about 22 mpg. Frankly I'm surprised it's that good, because I've been on it quite a bit.
Today I put it in Eco Mode for 1st time, for a lunchtime cruise (about 50/50 city/highway). Average was 27.7. Not a true test because I just can't keep my foot out of it. But there it is.
