We mentioned last month that Audi are doing a Trans-America demonstration for the fuel efficiency of TDI diesels – so far, the Audi Mileage Marathon is halfway through the United States.  In total over 2,800 miles have been covered and Audi’s TDI Vehicles are revealing some impressive numbers regarding fuel efficiency.

2,000 miles into this cross country marathon, the Audi A3 TDI has the best mpg average so far, averaging 46mpg over the entire drive, in second is the Audi A4 TDI with 39mpg, the Audi Q5 is third with 33mpg and the not yet released in America, the Audi Q7 TDI is in fourth place averaging 28mpg, impressive numbers for an SUV of its size and weight.

The Audi Mileage Marathon is been sanctioned by IMSA officials, they are present at the refuelling, signing and sealing the fuel filler doors, it is also them who determine the winners of each leg, after analyzing the vehicles data collected every 24 hours.

The winner of each leg is the vehicle that achieves the best averages regarding fuel economy, speed and distance.

You can now get an Audi R8, the Audi Super car that Jeremy Clarkson drooled over earlier in the year for a mere £45 it represents a saving of exactly £78,150 over the standard R8.

The catch? this is a 1:18 scale model, enabling Audi R8 fans to bypass the current twelve month waiting list for a full-size example and park one on the mantelpiece almost immediately.

The meticulously finished Audi R8 model is faithful to the much admired design of the full-blown original right down to the detailing of its windscreen wipers. Only 750 examples of its all-aluminum, mid-engined and quattro-equipped big brother will find homes in the UK in 2008, thrilling their drivers with a mighty 420PS output, 4.6-second acceleration from rest to 62mph and, for those lucky enough to be visiting an Autobahn next year, a 187mph top speed.
