A8 Fuel Consumption

steadphil · 11-05-2004, 06:45 AM

I am pretty sure that my next car will be 3-4 year old A8 but I need to know more about fuel consumption across the 2.8, 3.7 and 4.2 models to make my choice. Does anybody know of any good websites to guide me?

4.2 = 13.0 litres per 100 km
3.7 = 17.1 litres per 100 km

couldnt find anything on the 2.8

3.7 with greater fuel consumption than the 4.2 ?

I think you must have your figures round the wrong way.

I recently bought a '99 A8 2.8 Sport Tiptronic and have managed an average of 25 mpg.

2001 A8L 4.2 gets between 17.4 and 19.5 combined city and freeway driving.

Check out this site to do side by side comparison.
I don't know for sure how accurate it is, but it's worth checking out.
