I wish I got close to the lower end on a motorway run let alone the quoted motorway run high end

The disparity between quoted figures and reality on our S5 is similarly comical/indecent. I’ve never got close even when trying. 20s won’t help our cause and the spec means it’s heavier.....

I saw 28 on Tuesday!!!!

50MPH average speed section of M4 between Newbury and Reading. Officially the most soul destroying section of motorway in the U.K. LOL

Set ACC to 50.
Suspension to comfort.
Box in D.
Almost had a nap.

I've had low 20's on a few runs involving a mix of roads, usually when I'm making an effort to do so.

After almost 4 years of ownership I've long since given up on 25+MPG and just enjoy the drive and don't think about the consumption.

Those figures quoted are truly ridiculous.
