info on MPG on a Q7
I am looking to purchase a Q7, love this line of SUV however I do have a question of on the MPG of the Q7. I have been looking online and see that its estimated about 14mpg on street and about 20 highway.
For those who own a Q7 can anyone tell me if those numbers are pretty accurate?
I have an F150 5.4L and I am getting 14mpg streets and 19mpg highway. I would have thought that with the Q7 it would use less gas due to the smaller engine and v6.
Anyone with info it would be greatly appreciated.

I have a 2008 3.6L, have never seen 20MPG on the freeway ever and I drive very conservatively, average is about 14-16MPG. People must drive down hill all the time to see over 20MPG.
If you're looking for upper 18+ average, stay away from 3.6L.

I live in LA, CA so with traffic I would think mpg would be on the lower end.
Im not so concerned about 18+ mpg as the Q7 would be the Mrs. vehicle to drive and i would take the A4 for my longer commute. Cant get worse since i commute with my f-150 now. Seems like mpg goes hand in hand between f-150 and Q7, if anything would still save on gas since the Mrs. would use it and has a shorter commute.

When you look at the mpg you also need to consider the Q7 is a Quattro so there is the extra drain of driving the front wheels also and think about comparing weights as sometimes a smaller engine may be surrounded by a larger heavier vehicle so has to work harder.

Mrs. will get 12-13MPG around town or commute...
Wow, im having a hard time understanding how my 5.4L f-150 v8 gives the same mpg as a 3.6L v6 Q7.

Many people try to get TDI to save gas, but the diesel prices are now are much higher than premium, not much savings there.
The bottom line is Q7 is nice, carry more people, safe and sound, but they are gas guzzlers. Anyhow, even the Honda Pilot is only average 15-16MPG, smaller truck than Q7.
