One of the features of my Avant is the instant mpg readout on each of the trip computers. At 60mph I'll see 27-28 on level roads. Increase the speed to 75 and the mileage drops to 22-23. At 40 I'll see 29. Just one of the many variables that affect our economy (or lack thereof).
Also I get 12-15 MPG around town and 22-23 on Highway. Local driving seems very low. Others experience same?
THanks,

First fill your tank. Then, next time you fill up, divide the miles driven by the gallons you put in. That is real world mileage. Anything else is a guestimate.
newer 2005 & up 3.2's are 26-27 on the hwy. I get around 18 in the city on my 4.2 V8. Had a 2006 and just traded for a 2008 4.2. I can still manage 25 + on the hwy.
Been over in the maintenance and repair section, interesting reading!
Gallons/Mile or Liters/Kilometer. (1.0 miles = 1.6 Kilometers) just a note:
Gallons/Liters = 1 Gal. = 3.8 liters.
It's an 80 liter tank/3.8 liters/Gal = 21.052631578947368421052631578947 Gals.
:surprise:
a. Tire Roll resistance (Summer Tire, All weather Tire or Winter Tires)
b. Tire Pressure
c. Driving conditions (Wind, Rain, Snow, Hot & Cold) & road surface.
d. Air Conditioner On or Off (The ECO Button)
e. Engine Air Filter Clean or Dirty
f. A6 3.2 l Quattro, curb weight just over two (2) tons/4000 pounds.
g. Some A6 3.2 l Quattro's are configured to run or Super or Regular unleaded
I think it's in the manual.
h. Aerodynamic Coefficient of 2.9 WOW, That's only one (1) unit above the Lexus.
(That's a measure of wind resistance, I think)
For our friend at the beginning of this thread:
"The Total number of hours driven is accumulative" and can be reset buy pushing
that button on the left or bottom side of the wiper control arm.
The DIS or FIS (Driver Info System display has two read outs:
One for last trip the other for current trip marked (1) & (2) accordingly.
Yeap! Total miles driven / Gals. used or refilled when tanking.
80 liter tank or 21.05 Gals.
I have a friend who tells me all the time he does not understand what the big deal is about the prices of Gasoline. I said! What do you mean, when I tank up it cost me almost $60.00. He said " It's simple really, when ever he goes in to gas up he always tanks for twenty dollars."
I've had mine since Aug 09 and it just dawned on me.
The question is how fare can you go on what you got. Or to put it another way
does anyone know how fare a 4000 lb. vehicle will role @ a given starting speed of say 50 miles/hr.? Well I don't, but what I did find out is that on the Audi web page
they give you driving tips on how to reduce your per.miles or kilometer usage of gas.
So here is what I do:
a. When I'm going down hill I take my foot of the Gas and DIS goes to Zero.
b. I only apply enough pressure on the Gas Pedal (tomakethecarGO.)
This is referred to as the "Egg under the Foot Principal".
TIP: Setup your FIS Mileage readout to position 2 Avg.mile/gal. and see if you can keep your mileage below 8 gals/mi.
c. I have two (2.3) bar of Tire pressure in the front and 2.0 bar in the rear.
d. I rarely drive over 130 Kilometer/Hr on the autobahn.
e. My last tank up was 69.7 liters for 610 kilometers driven.
Note: That's a combined average of highway and city driving.
My Summer tires are Michelin Primacy's and the Winter Tires are Continenal Eco
Contact's.
Well That's about It.
