Audi TT MPG

If you're in the market for a new Audi TT, the fuel economy (MPG) might be an important thing to consider for you. To determine your Audi TT MPG, first you need to decide which generation Audi TT you're after. Currently, the TT is on it's second generation, called the 8J. Production of these models began in the 2006 model year. The previous generation, which ran from 1999 to 2006 was named 8N.

The 8N cars had 7 different engine options. Six of these were 1.8 litre turbocharged variants, ranging from 148 to 278 horsepower (HP). The two least powerful variants (148 and 161HP) were reserved only for FWD Audi TT's. The next two engines, with 178 and 187 HP were for FWD variants as well as the AWD. Then there were two more 1.8 litre turbocharged engines that were AWD exclusive, coming in at 222 and 237 HP. The top-of-the-line engine was the 3.2 litre V6, with 247 HP. Each of these will get different fuel economy figures, so finding out which engine the vehicle you own (or are shopping for) has is critical.

According to the US Government site Fuel Economy, the early FWD Audi TT gets a combined rating of 23 MPG, while the AWD variant gets 21 MPG. The TT Roadster, introduced in 2001, gets a combined MPG rating of 22 for FWD, and 21 for the AWD model. The 2006 Audi TT with the six-speed automatic transmission gets only 20 MPG. The new 2010 Audi TT models, whether in coupe or roadster form, manage a combined fuel economy rating of 24 MPG, the best of the TT line.

Based on these numbers, you can expect fuel economy in the high teens to mid-20s, depending on your driving habits, and the amount of time you spend on city streets compared to highways. All in all, those are some impressive numbers for a sports car like the TT.
