My New 2017 Q7 experience

I just completed a trip requiring two full days of driving and got similar mileage on the computer. For 2 tanks of gas, I manually computed the mpg, and found the computer shows almost 2 mpg over actual mpg and I was using adaptive cc for the majority of the drives. I find it's just a good estimator.

I've always found the computer to be high, but consistent in terms of providing data to enable relative comparisons if not actual results.
Having said that, I can only wonder if the inflated MPGs that seem to be consistent across the Audi brand are determined using the same algorithm that was used for diesel emissions.

If I were an automaker I surely would err on the side of more optimistic. I can't blame them too much. 2 mpg off isn't terribly much considering that the amount of gas in the tank has to be estimated at the beginning and the end.
