EPA
The standard V-8 coupe and spyder score just 11/20 mpg with the manual, and 13/21 mpg with the R-tronic automatic. Upgrading to the V-10 dents the figures to just 12/19 mpg with the manual and 13/19 with the R-tronic.
The EPA hasn't yet reported the limited-edition R8 GT's fuel economy figures.
Conclusion
The 2012 Audi R8 won't win any awards from the Sierra Club, but it trades that efficiency for serious performance.
