Yesterday was a BIG day for Agent 001. That's because he was in our nation's capital. No, he wasn't reporting his latest findings to a top secret, three-letter agency. He was busy test driving the all-new lineup of Audi diesel products.

To keep you up-to-date, remember that means for the FIRST time we'll be receiving the:

- A6 TDI
- A7 TDI
- A8 TDI
- Q5 TDI

That's a pretty big deal!

From the grapevine, 001's told me that during yesterday's drive of the A6, A7 and Q5 they all easily achieved over 30 mpg — mostly getting mid 30s on the highway. Keep in mind that these motors have over 400 lb.-ft. of torque, which means there is essentially ZERO tradeoff when you consider power and fuel efficiency.

 
Have range anxiety? Well, you should probably do yourself a favor and scope out a diesel as these Audis can obtain 700-800 miles per tank depending on the model. If you've never seen Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson push an A8 TDI to the limit, then you probably should. He drove a last-gen A8 TDI from London to Edinburgh and back on a single tank. That's an 800 mile trip!

If 001 had to pick a favorite, he informed me that it would easily be the A7 TDI; however, he did note that he thinks the Q5 TDI will be the sales leader of the pack.

After seeing how the Q7 TDI succeeded, I think that's a pretty safe bet.
