How are you getting 33-35 mpg on the highway when its only rated at around 25 mpg on the highway? I know the ratings are not exactly accurate but that is a big difference.
He's probably using the MPG computer on the car, which in my experience is about 2mpg higher than actual. But I have managed a best of 36.6 on the gauge. Easily able to hit 30+, even at interstate speed. AFM with the A8 on level grades can make for some serious hypermiling
