just bought a CPO'ed 2008 Q7 3.6 Premium. my first audi, coming from a lexus RX 350. would like a quick survey from you experts.....

so far, LOVE the looks of the car. however, i am a bit shocked at how low the MPG mileage is on this car. i'm currently getting about 15-16 MPG on the 3.6 engine, with 91 octane gas and driving 50/50 highway/city.

does this sound about right for all you non-TDI owners? i'm measuring it based on true miles driven divided by actual gallons pumped into the tank (vs. reading the computer calculated reading on the dash).

for you 3.6 and 4.2 engine owners, can you share your real world driving MPG? i just want an idea of what others are getting.

thanks!

I'm averaging 18 MPG between fill-ups, about 50/50 highway/city.

I have the 3.6 and avg just over 18 with a 60 highway and 40 city split.

Sounds about right

Ditto, if you want exact figure I would say "poor".... Didnt expect good mpg so I cant really complain

Q7er

I'm getting 14~15mpg with 60 city/40 highway. My wife usually drives it and she is not heavy footer. Thought little bit better than that.

I just noticed the No. 2 trip computer on my 09 3.6 was showing average 17.8 for 6500 miles. Mine is probably slightly worse than normal since i live at 6500'

15-16mpg in real life is about right. I think the car only gets 13mpg in the city driving and 19mpg on freeway. I got used to it by now. I used to check every time I fill her up, but not any more- 300-350 miles for 20-21 gallons like clock work.

BTW, never trust the computer average mpg, it's wrong. Mine has always been 18-19mpg on the display.

Hope you don't feel cheated...


Cheers,
