Best I have gotten is 29 MPG in my SS and it happened on I-20 between Atlanta and DFW just recently. Before that it was 28 MPG on I-10 between Houston and San Antonio.

This was doing mostly 75 and 80. I may be able to crack up to 31 if I was patient enough... ....but I didnt buy this car for gas mileage

In my 1LT 3.6 V6 though I've made some freakish numbers.

My first best was 41 MPG:

I later topped that with 47 MPG on a road trip between Atlanta and San Francisco and freakishly did so at speeds ranging between 70 and 80 MPH.

With the A8 cars, the trick is using manual mode and keeping it in 8th Gear as the car downshifts unnecessarily...alot. Combine that with predictive throttling and keeping it in range of 4 Cylinders as much as possible and you can make some amazing fuel mileage with these cars.
