It is as accurate as most VAG on board displays - so not very much.
I have yet to test it tank to tank but I can easily get 55-60 MPG in Hermann in a day and this is a slushmatic Auto. With your skills that figure would probably be about right for an A8 manual.
I'm confused on gauges as I had the SG2 (calibrated) reading 21.5 MPG at the same time as the on board displayed 43 MPG for over 500 metres going up my own street.
I'm waiting for this tank (maybe 2 weeks) to know for sure - I don't drive far...
