I find my A6 2.7T does well on the highway. In the city.. it can be a bit of a pig on gas, but then again.. i luv that off the line of power and tend to push it hard all the time in the city. Haven't had the car all that long, but it and general opinions are that its a very reliable car. From what I have read, things might go, but not without warning and even then, it will get you home.

In part, I would say that you also have to consider what you are buying. These aren't what I'd call intercity commuter cars, but if its long distance mileage on the open road, they are awesome machines. The ride is great, handling superb.. throw in the all wheel drive and even snowy, icy roads are a no big deal. As well, they have nice space in the rear for others, luggage... kids... (LOL I was curious.. I layed down the rear seats and I can even lay down back there.. and I am 6'4" )

Gas mileage.. well i am willing to sacrafice some for a great ride and handling as well as the quattro. I used to drive a Mercedes 190E... smaller car, great car, but on the open road, the Audi is nicer to drive.
