I drive my S4 every day - 26 miles to work (and 26 miles back) + around town. The average fuel consumption is 16.6 mpg. No issues to report.

88 S4 takes me 20 miles to and from work.
Very comfy. Super fast.
Spend most of commute making sure no one
drops into my lane as the 928 can sneak up on normal
vehicles at a much faster rate that most drivers are used to.
Also trains me to have great situational awareness to any
Crown Vics and possibly clean Mustangs lurking around waiting
to set those under-grill red and blues a flashing.

16-18mpg in mixed traffic/highway driving.
Hills become slight slopes with that big torquey V8.
What crosswind. What headwind.

Do need to keep up with maintenance and alignment.
Ate 1 set of front Kumho's before I learned about what toe-out does.
Was told it was at a couple of degree toe out. Oooops.

Contemplating installing true HID H3 in the fog lights to
alert drivers of my presence.
Ernest (NYC) Glad the clutch is spring assisted.
