I got to give props to Audi 1,200+ miles, it takes me a full tank to go to Orlando which is 240miles away but then again i do about 100+ . Even if i do 50 i wouldn't be able to do half that.

 

Despite is a great fuel mileage achievement I call this big BS. Audi has done that 20 years ago with the Audi 100 CDI. They put the car in a close oval circuit and set the cruise control and had 3 crew driving the car in shifts urinating inside the car, having breakfast lunch and dinner(sandwiches) and all that.

They don't mention cars like the Citroen AX diesel which made Madrid- Paris in a 10 gallon tank(that was like 20 years ago) it average similar gas mileage but the difference is that it was real driving in real public roads.

This is cheap propaganda from Audi guys. Just take a minute and look just about any other manufacturer in Europe, they sell 30 or 40 other cars with nearly identical gas mileage(Mini cooper D, Citroen C1, Peugeot 107, Seat Ibiza, VW lupo) just name one... like I said, improper cocky and cheap propaganda from Audi.
