Hah!  Like many of us, you are alway thinking about the
next car, regardless of the price of gas. :)

I know you pay a mechanic to do your dirty work, so this
might be cost prohibitive, but I'd drop a 4.2L V8 into
an early A6 Avant -- the V8 for power, the wagon for
utility, the combo for stealth. I might also opt for a
5-speed manual. But since you like your 20V Avant, a
95.5 S Avant would fit the bill with no engine-swap
headaches.
