I just completed a nearly 2,500 mile trip, driving on Interstates for most of those miles between 65 and 70 mph. I was pleasantly surprised to get the MPG that the Q7 reports, however when the math is done by hand, it's about 2 MPG less. Also, that average MPH doesn't make sense, since very little driving in city at low speeds occurred. I wonder if anyone understands how Audi does their calculations? Oh, and yes, I did reset these trip values before starting out...
The mileage is garbage, it an be fixed (see my post higher in the thread) but the mph is very accurate take out you calculator: 2451.5/59.9= 46.3mph
Its simply (miles driven)/(time car was on) if you idle in a driveway or get a couple long stop lights or hit construction zone or train, the denominator will keep increasing while the numerator does not, and it will lower your average quite a bit if its not short.
I kinda wish it reported the idle time separately but it is what it is.
About 26 mpg heading West over the Continental Divide, about 1,200 miles yesterday - lots of construction and several stalls over 20 minutes in traffic....
