Fuel consumption
Re: Fuel consumption
Do you mean the air con has gone crap again after the 2 days? Sounds like you have a leak.
Gas is done in grams and the oil is done in ounces.

Re: Fuel consumption
Problem probably isn't re-gassing. More likely to be dust/fluff in the matrix which can rapidly clog with ice. Mine had a tendency to do so after a few minutes. Immediate fix was to simply switch to Econ mode for a few minutes, ice melts, and back on with the A/C for a while more.
Audi dealers have a machine which blows something through which has significantly helped mine, and I believe there is a Car Plan spray available too.

Re: Fuel consumption
I bought some antibacterial spray for my M3 because it stinks of feet. Blows nice and cold though.
Presumably getting to the matrix involves more work than decommissioning a nuclear reactor.

Re: Fuel consumption
Yeh I agree
Re: Fuel consumption
Everytime my work colleagues mention the fuel economy on either the RS or the V8 Range Rover I explain that I really don't care!
On the odd occasion that I have the unusual thought of what MPG am I doing I bury my right foot in the carpet and the smile that results from this makes me forget about my diesel driving brethren's main focus.
The reason diesel drivers and many smaller petrol car drivers focus on MPG is due to their cars being boring to drive!!!
