V8 diesel doesn't sound anywhere near as good as a V8 petrol.... But who cares when you've got over 800 NM of torque at your disposal.

Normal mpg is about 28 to 30 but can get up to 36 on a long, calm run. Didn't really notice any difference in economy after remap though.

That's a suprise. I'm getting 27 round town. Doesn't seem to be a difference between 3.0 and 4.2. Must be the remap that is saving you fuel maybe.

The difference (or lack of difference between 3.0 and 4.2 engines) could be down to driving style and conditions. Traffic can be different in different towns, cars weigh about the same so it takes the same amount of energy to get it moving and up to speed. Short runs on cold engine will use more fuel then if you keep driving on warm engine, tyre model, size and pressure can make the difference and other factors as well.
On the 2.5TDI A6 I am getting about 27mpg on short runs with cold engine, 30-35 short runs and around town on warm engine, around 40mpg doing 70-80mph on long runs on motorway and almost 50mpg on the long runs doing 40-50mph

If you click the Fuelly icon in my signature you can see every fuel up ever including mpg. I did the remap in about June last year. If anything the mpg went down after the remap. Wonder why....

My dads 06 S8 had a remap and the economy was worse than his newer one without a map. He is happy now he sees a slightly better average mpg.
