Fuel consumption... what are you getting?
Hi guys,
Thought I would ask as my A8 seems to be verrrry thirsty! Currently, according to on board computer, which I have set to display the consumption in litres/km, it shows around 18l / 100KM (ca 15MPG) but in real life it is more like 20l / 100KM (ca 14 MPG). I must say my foot is not very heavy! I do not hammer the car! Doing short distances though might not help. What are you guys getting? Cheers, Tom

My S8 has averaged 16mpg (measured on filled tank basis and about 5-10% more accurate than relying on DIS depending on usage) over 3 years I've owned it
Worst of 12 and best of 21 on high octane fuel. Would expect a bit better from an A8

I get very similar figures in my 4.2 PF fella, it's "around the doors" that kills it, in more ways than one. I hate using it for work (a ten minute journey) but weather sometimes dictates I have to. I've seen around 24 mpg on journeys to your neck of the woods, I just don't drive it any great distance often enough. Since I was informed the short trips were contributing to some of the problems I've had with the car I make a point of extending my journey sometimes and giving it a good blast once it's warmed through, it always ensures I end my journey with a smile and, after all, it's hardly going to hurt the fuel consumption

Cheers guys. Yeah, on the motorway it is not that bad... shop/train station journeys must be quite demanding

Frankly i havent a clue. The DIS says 22mpg overall but i cant be a**ed working it out and keeping records. My wife says its a lot and says thats why i ditched the petrol log!
 The_Laird keeps a detailed spreadsheet but is away on hols at the mo' but he runs 60-70 miles aday going to work.Around town is a killer .

Even my 2.8 struggles to get much mpg when doing the 3 and a bit miles to work about 22mpg. If I get chance to let the old girl stretch her legs though 34 mpg isn't difficult. Sadly it does journeys to work than anything else
