A 'mere' 69.8 litres is my best, V-Power Nitro+ is currently 139.9p per litre around here.

Well just pulled out all my fuel receipts and I've visited Shell 28 times (feels like double) in my ownership and my maximum recorded fill up was 62.11L and have only exceeded 60 L four times in total. Nice to know that I have some hidden in reserve should the worst happen and I can find no V power.

70L of SUL is over £101 down my way :shock:
Wow that's pricey there Sam, I don't think I've ever spent more than £90 to fill mine and I always use vpower.

And seriously organised of you to still have all your fuel receipts :)

The ur quattro takes more to fill than the rs4 and amusingly the mpg are very similar

Excuse my ignorance gents, but is this magical button you speak of? Some sort of reserve?

Thinks its a reserve space to allow the fuel in the tank to expand under different ambient temps. Should be ok to use as long as you use a bit of fuel before you get home......

Yeah I like to keep the receipts so that I can prove the car has always been run on Vpower in my ownership; when looking to buy mine no-one could substantiate they filled up with SUL despite a few owners saying they did. I'm not that OCD that I record the millage and work out the exact MPG though, that's a step too far even for me.

Vpower is 147.9L round here at the moment. Nevermind, it'll be all hydrocarbons by the time I think about it again. :lol:
