Sounds about right - gotta go to Toronto next week myself:).
As long as you're under 120kph, the OPP won't go after you; as you approach the GTA you can increase that number to 130kph.

Actually
trip comp and reality seems to match - used 19 gallons on 502 miles - But also drove it some today locally before refilling - brought the trip to 26.2 mpg - averaged it out to 26.4...actual use..

Most people who measure ...
... the mileage themselves report that the A8's computer reports 10% better than reality.
My last 2.5 hour trip from CT to NJ netted 27MPG according to the computer. Avg speed was 57 but most of the time I was at 70mph.
