Hmmmm, makes sense, still would take an S8 tho

In the city, the spider does 32 mpg.

On the hwy, spider does about 32 mpg thanks to the high rpm.

So I like to use the A8L for highway as I get about 27 to 31 depending on how flat the highway is. Around town, I drive my go cart.

to MN from PA, but I have no idea how accurate it is. That includes some slow side streets and mountainous hills in PA, several hours of 75-80mph overnight cruising, and about a million $0.80 toll booths in Chicago.

(Are you seriously stopping me for $0.80?!?!?)

OOOOya

I drove my new-to-me S6 from Detroit to DC to Denver in June and tracked the mileage mathematically. The best mileage was through Kansas - 22mpg. The rest was 21.5mpg. All done cruising at 75, AC on, car loaded with some luggage, roadtrip food & drink, and 5 pieplate wheels.

Driving in Denver, including trips to the inlaws (they live at ~7800ft, Denver is 5280ft of course), the computer is reporting 19.8mpg, which I found to be very accurate on the cross-country trip.

The feel-good-factor is that the 2.8 A6 doesn't do any better (worse in fact) in mixed/city driving. It has pulled 27mpg on the highway though, once.
