Over almost 9 months and 7,500 miles my D2 S8 returned 20.85 mpg.
I didn't pussy foot about in it, but even more impressive. It was covering a daily commute of a just under 1 mile each way. No chance to warm up in the morning or evening, this murders the mpg.

I reckon 20 is realistically achievable
