If anyone finds this useful, I saw this article where the reviewers is getting simular low mpgs (average 30mpg) compared to the declared 47mpg. https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-reviews/long-term-tests/audi/audi-q7-2016-long-term-test-review/ I wonder why and how the manufacturers get away with this false information? Any one getting any different values.

Im new here and im sure its already been covered elsewhere. iv just bought a 2016 audi q7 3.0tdi crtc 8 speed auto last month. drives ok, what mpg am i expecting to get local and on motorway? Granted that its not going to get the stated 47mpg on motorway and 40mpg local, what are owners real life mpg experience? Im getting around 37mpg driving on motorway driving around 65mph and about 22mpg local, even if im accelerating conservately and driving like a grandad in eco-mode. (its obviously lower when i drive more aggressively). does this sound about right? i know that you dont buy these cars for the ecomomy, but still seems very low compared to official figures, possibly indicating a hidden problem. The car has recently passed mot, and has been serviced, with transmission oil being replaced. Theres no obvious fault codes showing up on VCDS. What do you think it is? What are you guys getting?
