[V8] 40 mpg A8

[Kent McLean]

Last night on the Discovery Channel, Top Gear did a test of
a twin-turbo V8 engined A8: can it go from London to Edinburgh
and back to London -- 800 miles -- on one tank of fuel? Yes.
Jeremy Clarkson managed to average almost 40 MPG to do it,
just barely making it back to the filling station long after
the "miles to empty" had hit zero.

How?  The engine was a 4.0L diesel, which we don't get here
in the USofA.  Maybe with gas over $3/gallon here, Audi well
re-evaluate its position.
