as said in other posts and shocking to me my SQ7 4 litre I get more miles per gallon than the 3 litre 272 Q7

it don't make sense does it? The SQ7 is also running 22" rims the Q7 was running 21" rims

ok I'm on about normal driving mind and on a mixed driving run with the odd overtake I often get 42mpg on the run

mind around town you can prob nearly half that depending how you drive it

but normal driving the SQ7 really is better on fuel with out being to heavy right footed

when I first order the SQ7 I was worried I'd get nearly 10mpg less than the Q7 so I'm really pleased to get better

thanks for sharing your findings and taking up the callange
