My 2000 A6 2.7T generally gives in the low 20's when at highway speed
(~ 70).  City driving in the upper teens.  The nice thing about a
relatively small V6 is that it will do well with gas mileage at
cruising.  The MPG depends on how much you engage the loud pedal
(turbos).  The power is there when you need it (to pass, etc.) but a
large displacement engine is not being pumped when not needed.  Your
mileage may vary..
