Default How Low do you Go? (GAS)

Filled up with 68.1L.
Anyone else run the tank that dry?
(hey this was the day before gas prices went up, every station had a lineup!!)

Usually never run it that dry.

I don't know about everybody else but the gas prices are deadly these days. Started to really plan trips and routes now.

Its over $80 to fill it up and that lasts a week if i'm lucky.

$80 for a fill up???? Amateur. Mine has been over $100! Figure it out, a 90 L tank, usually I fill up most about 70 - 75 litres and use only 94 octane @ about $1.40, so there goes my lunch money for the week ;( A few years ago I needed 80 litres for fill up and paid about $1.50 for the 94 octane. Pump kicked out @ $100. Had to reset and start again for balance of fill up. $120 is my all time high for a fill up. Not happy about that. Waiting for an all electric A8

My dad (mechanic) tells me not to go lower then the red (1/4) as it works the fuel pump harder and lowers the life of it.

Best practice is to fill it up as soon as it hits half way.

Last week I got lazy got down to 0KM left, went pass it by about 10KM then got scared and filled up. But normally half way is my end.
