In Europe diesel fuel is just a little bit cheaper than gasoline and around 40% of cars are powered by diesel. I drive 2003 Audi A6 1.9TDI. On one tank of fuel (18.5 gallons) my range is around 920-930 miles driving 60mph on a cruise control which means 50-51MPG on the highway. Normal freeway driving with speed of 70-80mph means 740 miles of range (40MPG).

This feels a lot like an early VICE piece. Great to see all of Matt's success!

I remember Clarkson doing this test in a V8 TDi Audi A8 from London to Edinburgh, although he did drive like a pensioner losing the will to live! LOL That was back in 2004! 10 years ago!

Picked our 328d wagon up at the factory. While in Germany and Austria we averaged 37mpg, and that was with a LOT of 100mph autobahn cruising. Back in the states it averages low 30's in short trip city driving and we've seen 48 on a road trip down and back to the gulf coast. It's got great power, is quiet and smooth. Great ride.

You guys put together some of the best car review videos. This is probably the most useful review.

Another great video Matt, they get better every time.

A short note to UK and US guys arguing about MPG and throwing 60+ MPG around. Please compare apples to apples - imperial MPG vs. US MPG.

Very nice video guys Good to see smthin different from time to time

Amazing range for such a big car that was pretty full. Imagine empty you could get near 1000 miles.

I heard you saying the Olive was unimpressive on the Podcast, you weren't kidding haha. And just sitting there in a hotel parking lot? Big fan of your stuff guys thanks for keeping the free entertainment flowing.

Really like the projector shots

I think it is great that Audi put such a large fuel tank in the car! The mileage returned on that trip is pretty outstanding! My last road trip in my 03 Jetta Wagon returned 48.8 mpg ... if my wagon had that tank I would be looking at 1146 miles to empty :)

I agree Matt! Stop-and-Go is one of the best features ever!

This is still perhaps the best road trip video ever haha!

Nice Caddy Shack reference. "So we got that going for us, which is nice" lol

I LOVE THE SMOKING TIRE N MATT (NO HOMO) KEEP THE VIDS COMIN

867 miles. That is so impressive. Wow.

You guys teased this upcoming film in the podcast and it was just as stupid, funny, and awsome as you said it would be. Good job.

This would be badass as a wagon! (estate)

So I love the car definitely but I've laughed so much watching this, specially with the olive hahahah!!!

Nice roadtrip. Realy cool car.

How did these videos not get more views. The smoking tire has just a bunch of cool dudes.

You guys laughed at percolator.. love it.

I like it when you guys are discussing topics such as the speedlimit thing in the end. You guys should do more of this (for example your Corvette vs Nissan challenge).

***** yup...lol

251 miles on 6.3 gallons. 2014 q5 3.0 tdi. That is 40 mpg. Tank size 19.8 gallons. If I take it to the end(just quoted tank size), that's 800 miles. If I bled the tank dry would probably be 850 miles. Point I'm getting at is trip showed 38.5, I actually got 40 mpg. Shouldn't be possible from a 6 cylinder SUV. Got to love it! If my tank was the size of the A8, then I would be pushing the 1000 miles mark! Got to love audi!

Love that intro music!

That radar cruise control blew my mind.

My dad has the 2014 A8 tdi we love it its the best

I really want one of these.

There was a great test (C/D ?) with the Chevy Cruze and Jetta diesels, I think they were in the 930-960 mile range on a single tank.

Love the review plus road trip stuff. They could be even longer. Like 20min or so.

cool episode are you guys planning on continuing the Fiesta mod videos?

A good test and a cosy vid, but ohh man what a bunch of crappy sculptures, liked the Sun maid though. ;)

+TheSmokingTire thanks for actually reading our comments. I am guessing the car has the "stop for a kid in the road" programmed in also? If they can get it to stop for stop signs and see what the traffic is doing at a 4 way then you could almost never touch the pedals. These things are getting close to 6th Day type stuff when Arnold spins his chair to chat with his buddy and the truck drives it self. I know Google has some but they are not cheap enough for most consumers.

so, did you guys have to bleed the fuel system after running dry?

Matt nice video do u like the chevy hhr I own a 2008 chevy hhr ls also when are u gonna review a audi r8 v10 spyder not the v10 plus also u need the mclaren p1 to review

8:45 caught me off guard. pure gold.

Wow Matt in Inglewood. How surprising!

Range isn't the only thing Id be looking for. I would want a nice ride too. The passat TDI sel has a lot of features too and has a smooth ride. The vw's may not be as nice as the Audi but the vw's still have nice features. If it came down to it to where I was well off enough and could easily afford the Audi I would buy it. But if I was in a buffer zone to were I could afford the Audi but it was near my limit I would go with the Passat TDI.

Amazing car. I'd take a diesel long before the complexity of a hybrid. I remember when 25 mpg out of a tiny Honda was considered good.

I tried this before in my s8 I got like 300 miles on s full tank but of course I drive like a fool so I less than that but your right this car is worth every penny now I'm getting some ideas will u get rid of the s8 or not. Decision has been made I'm getting this one.

Can the seats actually heat AND cool at the same time?

brian hilligoss That is a rocket you have :) Must be great fun to drive.

We have an Audi A4 from 2004 with a 1.9 Turbo Diesel and a 18.5 gallon fuel tank. It´s not as comfortable as the A8L in the video BUT it has a range of 680 miles. So with a 23.8 gallon fuel tank like the one in the A8L, it would have a range of 878 miles!

The big question though is how well of a high speed cruiser is it. The deserts between AZ and NV are roads you can set the cruise control well past 100 mph.

The disappointment is hilarious

This was hilarious. Best part was this video was a minute longer than motortrend's transamerican road trip in a brand new 991 Turbo S.... Hahaha

Part of me wishes that one day Audi would make a mid-engine TT with said diesel v6 in it (there were plans for a v12 TDI R8, but it died) to go up against the Cayman S, but it's up to the execs to greenlight it, or hopefully a tuner company can get that project underway for a future episode of Tuned or showcase at SEMA...until then, I'll hold out on a used R8.

You're right, I put my point across poorly. When you are trying to make something look like it has range it made more sense to showcase how many miles to the gallon it can do as that is the ultimate test. If you had an A3 with the same size fuel tank as the A8, it would have a far greater range.

TheSmokingTire I drove an X5 with the 305 section rear tires 3.0 diesel from Luxembourg (Asselborn) to France (Narbonne) around 980km - 610 miles , fully loaded with a bike rack on the rear , averaged around 55mph , it has a slightly bigger fuel tank than the Audi , but for an SUV on fat tires , I thought it was incredible . A euro 2001 320d on the other hand does 730 miles with 16.8 gallons . Dont get me wrong a diesel Audi is great , but I find that the older diesels are much more fuel efficient and reliable. New diesels do multiple injections every compression stroke purely for emissions, and that kills the fuel economy. Clarkson even drove the old big 4.0TDI 800miles

You should have gone to Michael Heizers Double Negative in the Moapa Valley and back on one tank.

Isn't it bad to run it completely out of diesel because you have to bleed the fuel lines?

My 2013 F-150 ecoboost Supercrew 6.5 foot bed 5700 pound truck, with the 3.31 rear end axle ratio got 1400km/875miles on 1 tank of gas just highway driving cruise control on for an entire day. I know there was only city driving when forced from highway to highway. Not to bad at all still! $160 dollars to fill the tank in canada and arrived in South Carolina 18 hours later

I couldn't help thinking how 'Two Girls One Cup' would look like with this cup.

Always thought if you were trying to go fuel efficient and economical diesel was the no brainer option compared to a hybrid. But my lack of care for gas mileage and my obsession for the sound and feel of a performance v8 keeps me away from them. Definitely a nice car though.

Clarkson did a test of Audi A8 4.2 V8 diesel 750 miles I believe it was on a single tank of fuel

my 1999 Passat did 800 miles on one tank 14,5 gallons, on autobahn with 80mph-100mph and city and little overland. and i never run out, so there is even more then that 800 in there.

I think the A8 looks really nice although the S8 looks better :)

Well, maybe. It's smaller and lighter and can be had with smaller/less powerful engines. But also have a smaller fuel tank. So it's hard to say if the A6 can do the same range or out-run the A8. Atleast better MPG.

Audi is leader in diesel engines

Not totally relevant, but how much was it to fill it up?

Very impressive means you could drive from london to monaco on 1 tank.

hahaha with that special cruise control and thing that keeps you from drifting out of your lane it might possibly be the best car for drunks to drive home in.
