    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?

    No secret, only do this to keep an eye on the engine and pick up early if things are not as they should be, have noticed that the MPG did get better once the engine had done a few thousand miles. I have tried all sorts of fuel including several consecutive tanks of Vpower, this made no difference what so ever on this engine although I do used Vpower all the time on other engines. Some figures do look a little low and others a little high, I put this down to the fact I always fill to the top but not all forecourts are level, consecutive low readings are always when I have been towing. Do not see much difference between long and short trips. Snapdragon notes a temperature of 70, not sure what it should be but mine always sits at 90 getting there in just a few miles. Hope this is of some use.

    Reading other posts got me to look at my MPG a little closer; I turned on the car’s computer for average and currant MPG, filled to top with ASDA ( not the best stuff but I think this engine would burn chip oil and still run well ) reset the computer. Did 50/50 town and A roads, filled to the top at the same pump, parking on the same spot as last time, 62.75 litres, 465 miles, 4.54609 litres per gal, = 33.69 MPG, 40 or so cold starts, no sitting in traffic, driver only.
    This time 10% town 20% A roads 70% Motorway filled to the top at the same pump, parking on the same spot as last time, 74.96 litres, 672 miles, 4.54609 litres per gal, = 40.75 MPG. 4 cold starts, no sitting in traffic, two up plus luggage.
    Looking at the current consumption while driving just scars the sh** out of me, just made me accelerate and drive slower, so I turned it off, ignorance is bliss.
    Looking at the average consumption, each time I started the car it changed and did not fit in with what I actually got from the car fill to fill, are you guys using the car to give you these low MPG figures?
    And for Snapdragon I did look at the temperature again, cold engine, 5 deg outside, 2.5 miles made 70 deg and 90 Deg after another 2.5 miles driving at 30/45 miles per hour.
