Hello

I recently bought a A6 2.7TDi SE (not 4WD) multitronic with tiptronic function, 30,000 on clock for 06 plate, and running it over a full tank gives me around 33 to 33.5mpg, this is driving in normal DRIVE mode and no excessive speeding or accelaration, maybe 65% of time on A roads.

I know its all so variable but is my MPG a bit low?

regards

HI. You should be celebrating getting over 33MPG and thankful you have a diesel. My A6 is a 2.7T gas (petrol) car with Quattro. The best mileage I've seen is 28MPG driving at 55MPH and that's with the A/C off. I usually get around 22 to 23 MPG cruising at 75 MPH on the interstate and have seen mileage as poor as 16 to 17 MPG in city traffic. I do love the Quattro feature when the weather is not at its best, but also hate that it affects my mileage in such a negative way with all of the added weight and mechanical/rolling resistance.

 

Yea dude you should be very happy with that millage. On my A6 2.7T I get around 14 - 16 MPH because my drive usually consists of stop and go stop signs + lights in a hilly neighborhood. You're getting over TWICE of what I get

 

Yea I'm getting about 20 city and roughly 25-30 hwy depending on how fast I'm going. Keep in mind your car is in the upper 3000lbs range so it's not going to get the same milage as a diesel Golf. How's the power behind the deisel. I wish we had them out here.

 

Yeah I hate those hills, but I notice my milage drop more when I'm in traffic.

 

no A6 TDis in the states, hopefully someone here has some info.. 33 does seem relatively low

 

yea :-/ I heard Mercedes has some over here but I'm not too sure how accurate that info is.

 

It seems to me there is a comparison between apples and oranges here=>
Diesel vs Gas?

Which year is the TDI?

 

Also take into account that the US gallon is not necessarily the same as measurement as other countries Gallons
eg. 1 gallon US = 1.2 gallon UK
No idea where you're from though."A roads" usually means UK though.

 

Guys

I had no idea this was a US forum, sorry, yes a "A" road is a single lane one.
The car is 2 years old, the new model and yes there really is no point comparing gas with desiel.
