Just bought A8 4.2 sport
 

After 13 years of owning &amp; driving a Vauxhall Senator, I Have Just bought An Audi A8 4.2 quattro Sport.</P>


I can't believe the difference, I thought the Senator had power combined with grip &amp; comfort, but it is completly outclassed by the Audi.</P>


I know there are 13 years between the cars (both bought at 3 years old) but they are worlds apart.</P>


Everyone I spoke too before buying the Audi, said "Don't buy one, you will never be out of the petrol station". well guess what, they were wrong. around town, it does use a bit more petrol, but on motorways &amp; open roads the Audi beats the Senator on MPG everytime.</P>


It has got to be the best car I have ever owned &amp; intend to keep it as least as long as the Senator.</P>

what year? Yes I totally agree, A8 look so elegant and classy, can't wait until the new one comes out. I notice europeans are very fuel consumption conscious. I think its funny that Americans are complaining about rising gas prices, yet most of the world is paying more than double what we do. I buy premium, 93 octane for $1.67 ($1.75 normal, 8cents off certain days). </P>

Firestarter1984, Thank you.</P>


BoostedA4, It was first registered in January 2000 &amp; has 45000 miles on the clock, just one owner before me.</P>


I use super unleaded fuel (98 octane) at 79.9pence per litre(about <SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA">£3.53 per gallon) I am getting about 14 MPG around town, 28/32 MPG at 70 MPH &amp; 38/42 MPG AT 60MPH. I would not complain at all if I were paying the same price for fuel as you.</SPAN></P>

I don't like the styling of the new A8, (it might grow on me) I wouldn't mind having a test drive of the 6 litre W12 though.</P>
