This concentration of high-tech control systems not only means that the Audi multitronic produces very good on-road performance; it actually achieves outstanding fuel consumption. The Audi A6 with multitronic accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h 1.3 seconds faster than with the geared automatic transmission, and is even one-tenth of a second faster from 0 to 100 km/h than an equivalent model driven with optimum use of the 5-speed gearbox. According to the EU fuel consumption standard, its fuel consumption over 100 kilometres is 0.9 of a litre of premium fuel less than a model with conventional geared automatic transmission, and it actually consumes 0.2 litres per 100 km less than an A6 with manual 5-speed gearbox.
