    It would be useful to know what A8 3.0 TDI owners are getting for their combined MPG.

    Please post figures below.

    2006 ASB A8L
    The last 3 months have given just 25mpg combined on the computer.
    I am getting 17mpg on the computer as my daily commute in Nottingham has recently been made horrendous by the council Trots' tram retrofit works.
    At night, I get 27mpg on the same route.
    Nottingham to Kensington London door to door yields about 36mpg.
    I recently fitted new injectors, and we are going to Kensington tomorrow, so will test the mpg again.
    ***EDIT**** was 33mpg but we went to Wembley, then up to Ealing and then home, so I think 36mpg is about right for door to door.
    Engine never got above 70˚c though which can't help mpg in this weather. Still trying to fathom out why.

    Running around town I am getting 21-23, on the motorway 33-36, I suppose it would increase at a steady 70mph.

    Tell us your secret!? What fuel do you use? Do you recall what MPG you get for a short trip with a cold engine?

    I've got a 2005 3.0tdi on 55,000 miles and driving inside 70mph with moderate acceleration I get a combined 36/39 on a journey of 15miles from start so cold engine for first few miles, I have yet to get same 49mph that I got when I first purchased but that was about 150mile trip along motorway and dual carriage sitting at exactly 70 all the way, to say I was impressed would be an under statement but since then I'm having injection problems as a couple of them are leaking fuel and I've put much softer tyres on which again will affect my fuel effiency.

    I get my A8 3.0TDI in a week or so and am looking forward to these sort of figures. I currently have a Lexus IS220d and a claimed combined mpg of 45. I am no racing driver, never take it over 3,000 rpm and never over 80mph. I drive 25,000 per year and 70% of that is motorway. I get a max between 36 and 38 mpg. The car is serviced by Lexus every 10,000 miles and they can never explain to me why the numbers are so low. Roll on A8

    My car A8 2009 constantly returns average 33MPG.. This is a combined figure, but its well worth it when taking the whole driving experience into account.. "Keep the gear lever away from S" !
