RE: Eventually!!!!!
Just outa curiosity whats the stock bhp on the X......gotta be about 150 too I'd guess?
The ST I had could overcome the traction control if " booted " in 1st 2nd and 3rd
That thing with the extra bhp / torque would take on most 2.5 and 3.0 petrols and not be put to shame.

I think, 155 and the wheel tyre combo its got at the moment, is about the extreme of it's limits . . Unless of course thats the weather making the road slithery
It's got to be said tho' I do miss my rear wheel drive, was brought up with a Chevette HS and Rover 3500 SD1's . . . But the X is fine for now

Nice one 06...the diesel rocks doesn't it?
When I had my 2.5V6 I was lucky to get that out of a full tank and I'd put money on it that it wasn't any faster either in 0-60 or top speed times either[&:]
I had 720 miles on a full tank outta my A6 recently and that was mostly at 80mph or thereabouts.

RE: Eventually!!!!!
I've got to be honest, I was tempted by the Audi . . . but the bloke next door has got one on a P plate,(A4) so didn't want to seem too flash by getting a newer one
I'm starting to think there is a problem with the fuel gauge tho' on that half tank, just been out for a little bimble, up to Edinburgh A1, across to Glasgow M8, back down to Carlisle and back home! Still not flashing at me
I can see this coming back to bite me on the *** when I run out eventually
Oh and touched on 135 on the way, but lets hush about that

RE: Eventually!!!!!
Shoulda just been flash mate....lol
The Audi's are really nice too
I'ms ure the fuel gauge is fine, I'd say you could expect when driven reasonably carefully you could expect at LEAST 500 miles on a tank and anywhere up to potentially 700.
Not sure what the manufacturers say, but that'd be my estimate.
You were in Glasgow? Jeeeesh[&:]you more or less passed my front door....what happened to that beer?....lol
Working not too hard currently in Cumbernauld
