How this compares

At 21 MPG combined, the 2015 Audi S5 ranks 5th of 5 subcompact cars EPA rated for 2015 — 4 MPG short of the 25 MPG median for that group.

That places it among the thirstiest vehicles in its class. If annual mileage is high, the running-cost gap against a class-average rival compounds quickly.

EPA puts annual fuel spend at about $3,600, $800 more than the $2,800 typical for the class. Over five years at 15,000 miles a year that is roughly $18,000, a $4,000 difference against a class-median vehicle.

Tailpipe CO₂ is 413 grams per mile — about 6.2 metric tons over 15,000 miles of driving.
