Re: A6 T2.7 low gas milage
I'm surprised at the 26-27 MPG. Your numbers (21-22) are more like it.

Re: A6 T2.7 low gas milage
I agree. Overall 65-80 mph mileage is about 24 mpg on my 2004 A6 2.7T S-Line
with Conti ExtremeContact at 40 psi.

You can also suspect the breakes. Jack the car and spin the wheels - if
the wheels are tough to move - it might be your problem.
Also possible problem is the wheel alignment. If severed toed-in/out,
you would see it on the MPG reading.
Check the lambda reader as well ( will show up if you read the error
codes)
