MPG bad but I expected that...

This is fuel to fuel reading not off the DIS.

What was the DIS showing in comparison? I have never done that but think I may have to to see how far out it is!

My DIS is typically over-optimistic by about 5%, although it varies from 3-9%.

That really is quite low! That's almost (18.9mpg) what I used to get with an A8 4.2 Quattro!

Sorry, I meant I used to get 18.9mpg on the A8 I had! Which is quite close to your 21.74mpg. I think you could put that down to first-tank fun and running in though ;)

No probs...

Yeh, I think it will be about that for a couple of months.

Its always nice when the car is run in, as you see the mpg slowly creeping up. Still, enjoyment is far more important than mpg :)
