What a great car

Thats pretty good MPG for a 3.7 V8 Petrol I have to say.
It's amazing how relaxing any journey is in almost any A8, from D2 to D3 and D4 its just effortless

I have just arrived at Sainsbury in the outskirts of Plymouth having travelled from Putney (LDN). 200 Miles, no stop and she covered the miles with ease. Great cruiser!

I have to admit she has used a little over half a tank so i’d better fill up whilst here before my return leg later today.

When you take it on a long run (long enough to need to fill up), are you not impressed with the gains in MPG compared to normal town driving? 300-320 is average range for a tank under normal circumstances for me but I can get 420-430 miles on a transcountry journey. I'd almost call that reasonable but then I remember the fuel tank is double the size of the average small car

I know exactly what you mean....it's a thrill to average 23mpg.

When I had mine we did a good few tours of Europe and I was always happy with how it seemed to sip the juice even fully loaded and not sparing the horses on the Euro motorways, yet be extremely comfortable.
