RS6 price discounts

[silentbrown]

First year VED goes up from £640 to £1200, so an extra £560. Second year goes up from £290 to £450, so an extra £160 = £720 over 2 years.

Which is £30/month. Down in the noise, really.

Ridiculous as it may sound I actually feel good about the facelift car coming in under 225g threshold.
Every penny helps
PS just had renewal for insurance - £385 with full NCD. Result. More pennies saved.

And real world what mpg does it get? I averaged the 16-18mpg range in the C5 RS6 as I understand it the C6 was a tiny bit better but the C7 can average high 20's ... Can but no one does as they have bought an RS6 for a specific reason

C7 high twenties!! Lol....sat at 50mph maybe!!

My C7 will give between 25-27 mpg on a long motorway run, thats sitting around the speed limit or a little higher (85). running around it will be high teens to low 20's.
the trip computer is showing 23.2mpg for the last 4000miles.
tank range is 270-300 running locally and 300-340 on runs.

So far the car has done 39000 miles and I've done 25000 of them.I'm just about to take he to Litchfields, just to see what 650BHP is like:-)

It's fair to say the real answer is, who gives a st

I know you like your MPG Welshbeef from previous threads!

Car has done 7000 miles on mixed roads now and average since new is 22mpg. Short local trips 16-18mpg, long motorways at 85ish 25-28mpg.

Given that difference then it's actually very similar to the C5 RS6 - yet that was quoted at combined 18/19mpg and it would do that rather than pie in the sky 28mpg combined for the C7. Sure for the buyers of these cars mpg is pretty irrelevant but there is no need for Audi to Exeragerate so much(same for other car makers)

I don't have an RS6 so feel free to ignore me but when I have had sub 20mpg cars it wasn't really the cost that annoyed me it was that I was having to go and get fuel every couple of days that bugged me.

good point. I suffered a thirsty TVR that did 125 miles between fills.

Aye, but lifetime average of 22 - and driven briskly - is very good when you consider how much quicker it is than C5 ( I had one for a weekend which averaged 15mpg!).
Anyway it's only petrol

Having owned both a C5 and C6, the C6 is definitely thirstier by a small amount (2-3mpg) of combined driving. Mways at 70mph can get you 22-24mpg (C5 figures) but town driving drops the mpg quickly and my current combined after 10k miles is 15.6 mpg. I've also seen a steady 8mpg before, due to traffic in Oxford, rather than on a run.

I know you may have already made up your mind to use Litchfields but I can't recommend MRC Tuning at Banbury highly enough for RS6 mapping. They've won the Audi Tuning Gold Award for about 8 years running now and are consistently hitting 730+hp and 1000+nm on their C7 maps.

Are you going for the 900bhp version?

My old V8 S8 drinks premium unleaded at an average (based on tank averages over 25k miles) of 16mpg.....

I suspect even a C6 RS would be able to better that if you avoided short journeys in it as much as possible!

My stage 2 C6 is with them at the moment for a 900+hp conversion, should be done by the end of the month.

Here's my average....town and B road driving.

well done Chris
