Don't know about an A3, but my A2 got about 9 MPG on the 698 mile trip to Ft. Pickett, VA and back.
The trip will be from Barstow, CA to OKC. Planning on driving down Rt. 66. Only 1200+ miles.... 
Trying to talk my son into going with me.
And I will have a camera with many memory cards.
Warthog
P.S. When the time comes I will take orders for parts delivery....lol

Hey Joe. Are you going to get to keep the truck now or do you still have to sell it?

I have gotten 12-14 MPG running 45-50 on 4 lane roads....that is in a deuce with no cargo cover to catch the wind and with no load in the bed.
Since I run half Used Motor oil and half gas I dont worry too much about cost of fuel....if you can get good clean UMO (no water or crud in it) you are basically driving for half what gas cost....some people run more than 50/50 but I err on the side of caution since I dont have a pyrometer.
I filter it three times before it goes in the tank and the deuce filters it three times before it hits the injector pump.
I have had no probs but always carry extra filters and know how to change them in the dark while getting rained on (don't ask how I know).
Also carry spare eveything if you are going on a long trip.
It's also not a bad idea to get the phone numbers of fellow SS members along your route. You can put out a mayday and someone will come to your rescue.
Good luck.

Crap.....just saw that it was an A3 you are going after.....guess its' just diesel for you.
I would remove the cargo canvas to lower wind resistance....other than that just look for the "sweet spot" where it seems to pull good but not suck the bottom out of the tank.
Good luck with that yaller motor.

Another great man from Alabama suggested for my recovery to procure 2-55 gal drums of WMO from a autozone or oil change joint. Cut ur fuel (unleaded) like he says (after youve filtered it) and drive away for 1.75-2.00 a gal.
Anymore thats almost like driving for free
