I am thinking of getting a gas powered Q5. i want to know its actual fuel efficiency mainly im going to use it for hway driving and short trips..

In reality, these gas powered Q5s gets real-world mpg that's a bit lower than EPA ratings, depending on driving style. Around 28-30 mpg for highways if you're cruising at steady speeds. For short trips and city driving, it's usually 20-23, but can drop lower if there's a lot of stop-and-go traffic. Id love to hear what you eventually get @highbeam75

It's pretty ok. But I read someone here got a 40 MPG highway-driving, so you might wanna consider that too.

Mine got pretty decent numbers, especially on the highway, closer to 28-29 MPG.

just curious how short are those short trips usually like, under 5-10 miles or just around town as it can make quite a difference.

Yep, agree with everyone else here. your actual mileage can change a bit based on how you drive or the traffic. But those numbers above should give you an idea!

Not sure how the modern models do, but my 09 diesel gets me around 25 mpg on the highway

You'll probably get around 28-30 mpg on the highway, give or take, but in the city or on short drives, it'll be less. Just a heads-up, how we drive changes gas mileage.
