according to your DIS? In which case the reality will be much closer to 20 mpg. Sorry, but fuel has to be worked out manually over a period of time. I average around 25mpg in my smaller engined lighter car, worked out manually of course. My A8 would get about same mileage from the tank, but 25 more litres to fill up

From memory the 2.8 was the only A8 to qualify for the governments 'powershift' grant which covered about half the cost of the LPG installation hence there are more 2.8's on LPG....

I used to get about 15 on my trip to work (about 5 miles) but a longer journey would see about 20. On a steady drive around scotland for a few days I got a combined average of just over 23 but perhaps my lambda sensors where trying to 'lean' down the mixture due to my CAT issues ?
Use it in anger however and you will struggle to see the teens, but in my opinion its well worth it....!

I think they have put some stick on chrome between the normal top grille and the bottom grille of the PF D3 to make it look like a FL D3 grille. . . lol. . . badly
