They ought to be about the same - we have a 96 A4 & a 98 VW Passat & both
will take around 51-52 litres to fill a 60 litre tank when the light comes
on. I'd work on around 8 litres (near enough 2 US Gallons) being left to
empty (if the thing would get it all out the tank). Either way I wouldn't
push it much past 40-50 miles. There is a school of thought that its not a
good idea to run the fuel right down anyway - can't remember why though!
(search the Audiworld forums if you really need to know!)

Tends to dredge up all the gunk and stuff that settles to the bottom of
the tank.

Big Al, wouldn't it be simple to go and fill up when the light comes on
and see how much it takes?? That way, you would know for sure for your
particular car(s).....
