Soo after traveling over 400km in both highway and city driving i had managed to wase jsut over a quater tank of gass.
i have this wead feeling that if i lept driving i could have done at lease 800km on a singe tank of gass which i find pretty amazing. any of u had similar experiences lol ?

not sure if anyone else has noticed this but our first half of the tank goes really really slowly... the meters read completely different than our second half of the tank. i promise.... the needle does not even start going down until you drive about 100 miles. the last half of the tank you probably only get about 125 miles....

audi plays games with us, lol....

I thought I got good gas mileage when I went 400+ miles with one tank.
