How much did you fill up after 260 km? The Autocheck system is quite conservative, and lights the warning too early, if you are driving aggressively. Still, at those speeds, you can't expect more than 300 km range with ~60 litres (tank capacity is 64 litres).

first fill ; i drived very agressive and went 250 km
second fill : i was staying fuelless in the middle of highway when light apperead,slowed down to reach gas station it was 276 km total.
i wrote 260 kmh as avarage. i know how much i paid but i dont know how much one liter costs-will check this tomorrow and post here.

for long trips you need an extra tank, i go fast pass some cars but when i stop at gas station tehy all pass me again? what is the point of going fast then? [img]images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I am sure MTM could fit you an additional fuel tank in the rear? They certainly offer this for the RS4.

There is no point in driving fast, its just that the love of speed is an evil disease that requires a regular "fix".
