I drive exactly the same with both cars. 2 days ago we were having fun with my son for 3 hours, averaged 12.5 litres/100 km. Don't know how 19mpg is possible if not on full throttle all the time.

It’s all about driving style, off/low boost the S55 is less thirsty than the S65 but at mid to high boost it’s thirstier. For me the S55’s party trick for all it is giving up in terms of high rpm thrills and induction noise vs the S65 is it’s steep torque curve. That steepness require high psi and since it’s accessible at pretty much all rpms I tend to use it often, that’s why my consumption is WAY higher than yours.
