'14 A6 TDI - 4k miles by the numbers
All I can say is really, WOW! Here's the numbers breakdown -
MPG At Pump - 33.05 MPG
Last tank, at pump - 37.16 MPG
Best indicated - 51.9 MPG
Lowest indicated - 27.9 MPG
Cost/mile - .09 to .11 (Comparison to wifes GMC Acadia at .18/mile)
Avg/Gal - $3.683
710 miles per tank indicated
We just took a trip to Tucson, AZ for a funeral and even with a headwind, my wife, 4 month old and all of our luggage, we still averaged 33 MPG at the pump with ACC set for 85 MPH. The return leg was slightly better with a tailwind at 37 MPG at pump, and ACC at 80.
Overall, I'm extremely impressed with the TDI. Gutsy motor that can plod around all day returning 37+ MPG, while still delivering exceptional performance. Still debating APR's software, will likely do it after 10k miles or so. 5k service is book soon as well and I expect the numbers to continue up!
Bottom line, get one. Promise you will not be disappointed!!

I strongly second the "get one...you won't be disappointed" comment.
