I haven't yet found the solution to the insatiable appetite for V Power this thing has but at least I got 380 miles out of a tankful this weekend
 Average speed of 60mph over those miles, DIS showed 22.5mpg, actual was 21.2mpg. Doesn't sound much but I wasn't hanging about and those miles were almost entirely motorway, and the consumption was significantly better than the 15mpg I see when using the car around the doors

That's not too bad at all Ron - must be down to how slow you were going!!
 If you're gonna keep up with us 3.7 owners you will have to step it up a bit!!

Can't complain Neil, had to smile at an average of 60mph over 380 miles, steady progress was made
I used sport mode on the A69, such a pleasurable road, and aptly numbered if you're driving an S8

Ron.
After a full wheel alignment at Audi a few months ago, the economy of My D3 S8 improved and I'm regularly seeing 25 mpg on a 100 mile round trip, with a mix of dual carriageway, M1 and urban. I use V Power and I don't hang about.

My tyres had no feathering and have always work evenly, but I've always found this 8 to be fidgety. I put that down to the lack of tyre wall and abundant tyre width, but when it got more twitchy I gave it a go, and its improved more than the mpg:-)
I'm with you on the good intentions, and for me Its the bellowing exhausts that chuck them out of the window. That noise is Irresistible and addictive. The sound of money burning
