Just did a quick 400 mile trip... similar numbers... ACC set to 80 for most of the trip.. A/C on too... Anyone notice any difference with different octane? I usually put in 91, some stations have 93... wonder if it make any difference? I'm at ~1000 above sea level...
Nice. I have a 2017 Q7 Prestige and I'm wondering how the ACC lane keeping is fairing on those who have it out there.
I currently also have a Tesla Model 3 and the lane keep is much better than the Q7 I have.
My Q7 lane recognition struggles to stay on green, let alone do it's lane keep.
Despite all that, I love the Q7! What a great ride.
But Tesla has one up on the Q7 when it comes to driver's assistance/autopilot.

The Adaptive Cruise Control is really good (my previous Acura would get super aggressive both braking and accelerating) The Q makes you forget about working the pedals. I drove 150 miles today (Interstate) without once needing to brake... The lane keep is just okay, mine stays double green most of the time but when the lines break (on-off ramps, etc) it would want to pull to the side of the missing line... wouldn't trust it for more that a few seconds at a time... that said, it definitely makes the drive much easier... and the Q is SUPER comfortable and quiet out on the road... I have a M3 reservation (came in 1 week after I bought the Q7) The Tesla AP2+ seems to be much better... never experienced personally though. "My Q7 lane recognition struggles to stay on green, let alone do it's lane keep." I'm wondering if you have calibration issue... On well marked roads, I always see both green lines...
I made a 200 mile trip yesterday after picking up a CPO Q7 with the 3.0T. It averaged 30.4 mpg. I wish that I could have found one with ACC. I had a Q5 TDI that had ACC but decided to get rid of it after the emissions “fix”. I couldn’t pass up the deal that I got on the Q7 and I’m happy with it.

Have you seen the videos for the EON openpilot? If your vehicle has LKAS you can add the EON camera and use openpilot to make it work like the Tesla so that it drives itself.

Using higher-octane fuel than required to avoid pre-ignition/detonation provides no benefit, and in some cases can result in lower power/efficiency. I would expect 91 and 93 to perform identically (or very nearly so) for you. If there was a discernible difference, 91 would perform better.
At higher altitude, less octane is required to prevent detonation due to the thinner air, but 1000 ft. isn't that high. If you lived in Denver, it might be worth trying a lower grade to find the sweet spot.
