Hi Folks....I am sure you must have all of seen Jeremy Clarkson drive from London to Edinburgh and back to London in an Audi A8 (i think) 4.0 litre Diesel on one tank of fuel.....
Sooo, this week, I am currently doing a test of my own to see what my Audi A4 2.5 TDi Q Avant (34,000 miler) will do on a round trip of 50 miles a day - 25 miles motorway, rest A & B roads. Brimmed her on Sunday evening....
I am not taking her over 2000 rpm before I change gear (geeez its boring), but does do 70mph in 6th...so I still manage to be overtaking on the motorway........however unlike Clarkson I am using my heated seats, and heating....and stereo
Weirdly enough I find the driving around like this quite relaxing.....normally I am not one for hanging around.....
Will report back when I fill her up on Friday....
