Default TDI Owners... Mileage sound off

Long time lurker, first time poster. I am in the market for a Q7 and am seriously considering the TDI. It will be my company car and I put 25-50k a year. Wanted to see how many high mileage TDI's there are out there. And what issues there are if any.

A bit off topic, but my Q7 has been at dealer for service for a week now, and I'm driving a new A3 TDI. I've been driving it to work and back, averaging 44 MPG! Diesel is now 20 cents cheaper than regular unleaded here, so damn cheap to drive.

Check out fuelly.com for mileage - you can search by car type and year.

.
Mine is low miles at 6k per year, but I'm on fuelly and with mostly city driving at 21mpg since inception. Get near 27 or 28 at 78 mph highway. Great car to drive!

Driving in the city I get around 19 and on the highway its between 26 and 30 depending on how I get into it. Combined city and highway is around 22, or 350ish out of a tank.

Default He is not asking MPG

Guys her is not asking what your MPG is, he is asking how many miles are on your TDI Q7. Many people buy diesels for the longevity of the engine.

Let me rephrase if i may:

How many miles are on your Q7 TDI, and what problems have you had due to it?

Oversight on my behalf - apologies. Mine falls into the low mileage category - almost 4 years old and still less than 30k....

My 2011 just hit 90K
I use it as my company vehicle and average about 24k yearly.
Fuel mileage is outstanding for an SUV. I easily get about 550+ from a full tank, keeping the highway speeds reasonable of course.
Loving it right now here in SoCal because Diesel fuel is on the average, $1.25 cheaper than premium unleaded, which is what I get reimburesed at. I'm making money driving this beast and its paying for itself.
