Default Considering buying A6 2.7T, whats fuel economy like?

Hello all of you who have A6's,

I would like to know from an actual owner of a 2.7T and a 2.8 as well, the actual fuel economy that your car gives you (automatic tranny)
2000,2001 model years

i would like to have either L/100km or MPG (specify imperial or us) and also if possible how much do km or mi do you do with a full tank of gas (let me know tank capacity as well)

I would appreciate it very much and it will help me make my decision

Thank you

P.S didnt find anything in the search

Audis are not famous with economy ride.
For me personally, the fuel consumption is the LAST concern having to make a decision to buy an Audi.

01 2.8 Quattro, Remus cat back, darintake. I average about 20 MPG with a lead foot and 95% stop and go. Highway trips are always at least 24 MPG, and I have seen as high as 29s on an easy trip. on a combined trip, it is in the 21-23 range.
A 2.7T will be similar. About the same on a highway trip, but less in stop and go. Especially if you have a lead foot. I have heard people say 15.5 MPG in the city with a 2.7T.

Depending on my fuel economy, I get between 250-400 mi on a tank. That is 18 gallon according to Audi.

21 MPG US highway 80 MPH. Up to 24 if I slow down. A little less if I speed up. Goes to pot in the city but I avoid that. Goes up when the weather is between 40 and 60 F.

I've got the 4.2 and it tends to be 18-20 round town, 24-26 on the highway, with good quality fuel, properly inflated tires, and traction control off. Depends significantly on your right foot and the fun factor, though.

o4 2.7 & Im w/ Bob. Im getting about 22 @7o ( about 2.5 hour trip 2x a week ) and when I have to back it down to 55 - 6o, it goes to about 24.

In town sucks, but its due directly to the way that I drive.
