Fuel additives

My daughter has used Lucas upper cylinder lubricant as a fuel additive with her Honda Civic 2.2 cdi and experienced much better mpg figures. Would this be OK to use with my Audi A6 3.0 se TDI quattro automatic (58 reg)?

No. Use Shell V-Power petrol that has this as an additive in the correct quantity.
