Economy (or otherwise)...
 

Just wondering...

Have not been driving mine long distances for the last 6 months or so, and can't remember what I used to get.

Pottering around town, I am in the mid 15s to the gallon. A few blasts up the M1 recently at high-ish speed I am at 20-21mpg. 2002 S8 FE recently serviced run exclusively on Vpower.:rolleyes:

What are you guys getting? Is my economy representative? Or do I have dodgy O2 sensors...?

I might add that this is all taken direct off the DIS.

you don't want to know mine.. (2.8!)

Go on - upset me...!
 

Wouldn't be running my car if my company didn't pay for all of my fuel...+++

My route to and from work is winding and hilly, so not terribly economical. I'm averaging around 18-19mpg (only 5 miles each way).

On a long motorway run I've had mid-high twenties, but generally in out-of-town driving it's around 21-22

That's an early A8 4.2

for the record my 3.7 is doing 24-26 mostly short local journeys of up to 20 miles with the occasional zoom up to london and back from swindon.
must be all those roundabouts slopping the fuel around. . . ahem :D

I see 11 - 13 on Petrol around town and I have had 28 show on the DIS with wife and mother in the car after 250 miles. Normaly I see about 19mpg on the Mways with spirited driving.

On LPG however.................... :p

commute - 1/2 town, 1/2 dual C/way. 17mpg

Running on LPG ...

I see 16-17 for normal urban, up to 26 on the motorway and down to 14ish when I'm having fun on petrol.

Well, short journey to/from work each day - around 20 mile round trip - seing 22-26mpg.
On the bi-weekly trip on the motorway to visit the wifes family, getting 30-33.

Best I have seen was kept the cruise to 70, on the M62 from Leeds to Preston and the DIS showed 36MPG+++

Worked out that the DIS is optimistic by about 15% to 20%:tuttut:

4.2 QS

I love the implication there Mike that the MPG is better with wife in car then even better with mother as well LOL :ROFL:
clearly we all need to carry 2 wives and 2 mothers to get best figures :p
