Less brake usage with A8?
It seems that I use my brakes alot less in my 2017 Stingray in Drive mode than I did in my 2007 A6.
Slowing down, coming to a stop sign or red light, I find that when I let off the gas, the car slows down alot faster than my C6. Everything works great and I get great mileage. This is not a problem for me, actually I like it. Anyone else notice this about the A8?

I notice my 2018 GS has more drag with the foot off the gas them my 98 C5 which seemed to coast forever. I can't say I brake less though, looking at the brake dust and how quickly it accumulates I would say there is no difference.
