Just hung up the phone with level 2 tech TOM.
Talking about the decline of MPG with 5.0 (cruise controlled drive confirmed)
He said he has never heard of this before, but unless others call up with the same complaint he can't escalate it to the programmers.

The new software is designed more aggesivly than 3.x and will use more gas.

5.0 Will effect Allroad and S4 and A6..all with 2.7T versions.


Please call APR and complain.

APR also calls it Allroad 1.0 but admits its a re written 5.0 as the program changing is done differently for the allroad. It was released at the end of June.
