Do the W8 Passat's chew through the gas?

you would want a lpg injection kit on a car like that problems solfed till they make lpg more expensive then petrol.

As far as I could tell (I looked at them), the official use is 13l/100km combined.
Don't forget the W8 is 4WD too.

Dont bother with a w8, crap engine, if you want 8cyl look at an audi a8,

Open road is about 11L/100km and city driving is 15L/100kms. But I have a pretty heavy foot. So an average of 13 woudnt be too far away.

And yes it will use more than the 4 and 6 cylinder version but its a lot more car, and weighs about 1700kgs (heavier than a V8 Commode), so theres more to cart around.

Depreciation, rather than fuel, is the major cost in owning a vehicle. W8s are actually pretty much fully depreciated now, but they arent a particularly popular model so would be easier to sell one of the Passat poverty pak models, in my opinion.
