Thanks to all who have contributed to this thread. It turns out I'm not sure how serious my friend is about changing as I spent most of the day with him out on my boat fishing yesterday and shared a 12 pack of beer he didn't bring the subject up once.

My advice if he asks again is to keep what he's got and let his kids friends make their own transport arrangements. That and /or convert the Lexus, (rebadged Toyota Landcruiser) to 7 seats amd swap vehicles with his wife when the odd ocassion requires it. He'll tear up a heap of money trading that Audi Allroad in and its not a bad wagon for the money he spent.

I'd be looking into getting a really thorough service and tune incl a new air filter, there's no logical reason why he should be getting the same range as me (low 400 km's from a tank) as his Allroad has a 80 litre tank and the SC GT-P has a 68 litre tank so he's buring around 17% more fuel than me, go figure ????
