Default Optimize fuel consumption

Hi
I´m the owner of a 2006 Audi A6 Quattro 3.2L and i love it. The issue is that the last couple of years the gas price has been increasing here in Mexico.
Is there any way to modify the fuel consumption for a better MPG? Using Ross Tech software or something.

I don´t care if a need to sacrifice some horse power or something like that. I just want to be able to keep my loved A6.

Regards

VCDS (Ross-Tech) won't help you...you'll need to adjust your driving style to achieve better fuel economy. Obviously this assumes you've done proper maintenance on your car: air filter, spark plugs, fuel filter...perhaps even carbon cleaning.

I noted that roofrack on my car increases consumption by 5 MPG.
