A4 Avant 1.9 TDi (130) quattro -38 MPG!!
Discussion
a friend of mine has a A4 130 quattro. his average is 43mpg (OBC -in reality it is more like 40/41 he says). but he does 90% motorway mileage. 38mpg sounds about right from speaking to my friend, his mixed driving gets him 37mpg according computer when he isn't doing motorways miles all the time.
The wifes Passat Tdi 90 estate does "at least" 850 miles on 70L's of dinojuice, minimum!!!.
Thats 55-65mpg territry for average driving its frankly astonishingly economical & its done 175k!
I must admit there is a technique to keep it eco, don't rev it simple as that, if your used to petrol cars you have drive them completely differently, use the torque of taller gears in town ours cruises at exactly 30mph in fifth on tickover and the trip says 70 odd mpg doing that & it'll still pull away if you want it too.

Hi, I'm new on this site but like to share the following:
Audi A4 Avant Quattro TDI 190 HP approx 80,000 miles giving me on A Roads approx 50MPG. However recently drove to Andover approx 280 mile trip one way and achieved 63.5 MPG.
I believe the reason i achieve those MPG's on 190 brake quattro is the following:
1. Check tyre pressures monthly. 37 PSI on 19 inch summer tyres (Nexen Fera)
2. Service every 10,000 with flush, carbon clean, etc.
3. Use better fuel than the normal stuff thats available on the forecourt. Can be around 1.60 a litre.
4. Drive efficiently i.e. when going on a decline foot is taken of the gas, approaching lights foot is taken off the gas, pre-emt other drivers actions that aids efficient driving, try not to use brakes as much with careful planning of reading the road and whats in front of you.
5. I occasionally do accelerate hard at times when stood at lights just for the excitement and to benefit the turbo and discharge the soot however my engine is very clean currently at 80,000. Still running sweet I think not like i want to jinxes myself.
