There is a hell of a lot to go wrong, again though its the same for a big merc or bmw, if you want the luxury, the ride and the toys it goes hand in hand

ive no idea if fuel consumption is better or worse in the a6, after trying both for comfort , ride and enjoyment its a8 all the way.

i regulaly do a 400 mile round trip, and 1800 mile round trip 5/6 times a year -


i can tell you i get roughly this - in a 3.0 TDI

the 1800 mile trip to france costs me around £300 with 2 adults , 1 child, 1 baby - a fully laden ( i mean fully) boot, there and back, not going slow (easy to get carried away going through miles of empty motorway) and a bit of driving around whilst there, more than a quarter tank still left when i get back.

I reckon i could make it there and back on 2 tanks of fuel, if i conserved fuel by traveling at a lower speed.

when doing the 400 mile trip Leeds to London on the M1, alone, not laden with baby crap, i normally put about £60 quid in, again not taking it to easy, but with the usual traffic at points.
