Since 35000 mile service S8 is averaging 20 mpg vs 16 before! Unless they have pulled ..
2 plugs out I am at a loss to understand why! The car is performing as before. The range projection showed 515 miles on a 7/8 full tank.
I have not seen these numbers since owning the 4.2 A8 and my driving style has not radically changed.

Mine's in for the 35k today - hope I see a similar gain !! double digits would be great....
Didn't realze that the 35k was a 2 day process.... hopefully they will have the car back with the new tires tonight. The 285' turned out to be so wide that even with my built-to spec offsets I need a 5mm spacer to clear the front control arms...
will post pics later -
The MTM exhaust goes on tomorrow hopefully !

What the computer says and what you measure may be different.
Actual in both my M3 and the RS6 is generally six to eight percent lower than indicated.
The dealer may have changed something that the computer uses for the mileage calc. 25% is pretty significant.
Have you actually measured your mileage the old fashioned way?

I am measuring the old fashioned way and was not believing the results ..
so the computer simply seems to be confirming the spreadsheet results
