Thats why I always keep a fuel can in the boot! These modern electronic fuel dials lie and cannot be trusted! Mate ran out of fuel a week or two after buying an [older] A6 - car was telling him he had fuel left but it was dry.

RAC guy (who was brilliant) said it was probably either a faulty sender/display or it was not calibrated correctly

Can you spec a larger fuel tank on the A6? I had wondered if it had been spec'd but not installed lol, although it took 81 ltrs .. £120 :bash:
