The stock ratings for the A3 have been at least in the mid-20s city and 30+ or even 40 highway for quite a while. To even get under 20 you'd have to be drag racing at every stoplight.

My hope is that eventually people will long for more performance, better mileage, and better handling in some of their crossovers. This will result in several new types of crossovers that are lowered 3-4 inches and more aerodynamically sculpted. You could call them, and this is just a suggestion, "coupes", "sedans", and "wagons" or "estates".
yeah, I wondered about that reported mileage
don't know about the A 3 but my Audi A 5 coupe gets much better gas mileage

we just got home from visiting my son and daughter in law in Omaha ( when I wasn't at the Henry Doorly Zoo.) I am very happy with how the new to us 2016 GMC Acadia Delani worked out - on a tank of gas probably 95 % or better highway, 18 + MPG

We didn't tell them that we had gotten the GMC and they were out shopping with the wife Sat AM and then they met me at the zoo.
I said we had to go check on the dog at the motel and we should take one car, leaving the other parked at the zoo.
the D in L wanted to drive 2 since she is tall and she thought we had the A 5.
I insisted and they got a little surprise when we went into the parking lot and I open up the GMC remotely and said, what are you waiting for, get in
