Thanks very much for the info, that was great. I will take it out for a
test drive tomorrow (all going well).
I was supprised to see the differences "What Car" gave the to cars, I
wonder which is more realistic?, I noticed that the A6 you reference is a
Turbo, the one I'm looking at, is not, I presume this is not good (from a
fuel economy point of view, I heard turbos can improve fuel economy).
Again, thank you for your help - its much appreciated.

I hope that you'll find that it is a turbo. Audi stopped using the
non-turbo 1.8 engine in the A6 with the C4 model (in 1997, 1998 for the
Avant). I'm assuming that the car you're referring to is the (just)
outgoing C5 model (saloon in production 1997 - 2004, Avant 1998 - 2005).

All I would say is that I've achieved near to (or better than) the
official average with all three of my Audis. My current RS6 has an
official average of 19.8 - I currently get around 21.5. However, I
don't use my car for daily commuting (I work from home), and a lot of my
driving is long distance - the car rarely leaves the garage for less
than a 20 mile journey. Having said that, I don't tend to hang around.
