Maybe a little if any one has a long wheel base i would love to drive it, i think the LWB has no sports suspention im sure its different to the SWB and its life extra comfy or some thing

Although different fluid in the SWB, it's the same box, ZF6HP26, as in the LWB. But the final drive ratio is lower, giving stunning acceleration, especially mid range, which makes for sling-shot overtaking on A roads. I get around 20mpg overall, mostly careful, occasional hooning. The reason there aren't many of them is probably because Audi wanted to to use the more raucous sportier V10 for an S8, even though it has less torque, and restrict the W12 to its top-of-the range marques.

When ever someone mentiones fuel economy I just reply with, I didn't buy a 6.0 for fuel economy! That's why I have a diesel a4.

Most I've seen in a motorway trip was 22mpg, but that was with some spirited bursts of speed let's say.

You've just got to forget about all the negatives and enjoy the car.
