RE: Out of Gas!
why the question mark its a simple answer ( don't let the fuel drop to the point when the light comes on ) the fuel in America is cheap compared to Europe so you should never be in a low fuel situation

RE: Out of Gas!
I'm sorry Dave, bad etiquette. The question mark is because I don't understand why anyone would let their gas get that low, especially in a new Audi. And like someone above said, that can have some serious effects on your engine and thats a big chance to take on such a huge investment. I don't know, I check all my fluids and tire pressure once a week without warnings and go out of my way not to take unnecessary chances with the ride. My 81 Toyota (The Brown Bomber) stayed on E, but then again I was 21 and broke. Well I guess I shouldn't talk, I'm guilty of stupidier things than that. lol.

"e" is for empty. you should be filling up when the warning lite comes on (if not before)
was your wife laughing at you the whole time???? i would have been LMFAO (and probably would have made you wait a good long time before i came to bail you out!)

I was trying to get the tank almost empty so I can put some nice 100 octane fuel without much contamination. Thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

WELL THEN, disregard my comments. OBVIOUSLY you were conducting a "fuel experiment". good thing you bled the tank. that thimbleful of 93 octane shouldn't skew your result.
