I averaged 44mpg driving around in an A6 allroad for a week recently and my A7 3.0 Tdi is averaging 40-44 even though my driving is a little more enthusiastic!

The A8 4.2 V8 on LPG will have similair fuel economy to a 2.5 V6 petrol engine'd car, but if the V8 noise is a must then LPG will make it a little cheaper to run, don't make the mistake I did, sell up a 50+MPG BMW 320D and expect the A8 4.2 LPG to give you the same return.

i sold my BMW 120d and got a Legacy LPG - it was the best thing I've done for ages. I had everything (toys) and the performance (242bhp) not to forget the practicality of an estate and the bullet-proof engine.....for the same MPG as the 120d + a little more for insurance.

But, I am a car-hopper (change of scenario) so have decided on an A8 - and judging from the forum here, It should be even better than legacy!

Again I could be wrong (figures from Parkers).
I weigh with buying a diesel or petrol_lpg, and parkers came back with something like 28-33 for diesel and 23 for petrol (4.2 quattro auto D2)

If I go for LPG, then the petrol would be doing abt 40mpg.

have I got this wrong, or are we talking abt modern diesels which are way out of my price bracket?

just to update the Rs6 wheels will now be sold, and if the car has not sold by the 10th then its going else where

[Singh]

Guy if the px guy has offered near £3k, I would de spec it and sell it, that is a great price.

[daviesbike]

yea i contacted him and told him i will de spec it and they will give me £2,500 for it De speced so wheels will go, maybe i will take the mirrors off as they are oem and worth i would say £250 at least not sure about the grill as i only have the top grill to put back on but i have all the spares so i could always sell the A8 grill and all the A8 parts i have floating around

[Dezzy]

Good news then Guy I hope you get your hands on that W12 soon as mate.

After hearing of a concern about the photo i posted earlier in this post, i would just like to say i was only making a point and no A8's were harmed in the making of it.
