35-40 mpg fully laden over a 1100 mile trip is what I managed. Scottish mountains included.

You need you gear box code then get ratios from here http://www.brick-yard.co.uk/VehicleSpec ... fo/gbx.htm
Use this to calculate http://ctny.audiworld.com/mark/s4/gears/gear_calc.html
Running standard wheels and tyres and depending on code somewhere between 2570RPM and 2767RPM
I have just learnt this so someone like Aidan will be able to confirm whether this is 100% or not.
