Default Don't be so lazy.

If you know it's bad for things and you continue to do it...well, I don't get it.

Soon it will be unpossible to proceed any further due to your, er, laziness?

Gas it up man, gas it up!

Default Do 4.2s have the same fuel tank as the 2.7Ts???

I put at least 20.5 gallons on every fillup!

Default Thank you.

Amazing the sites you'll find by looking out of your own kitchen window.

Default I'll bet your service advisor thanks you

I took my A4 out of gear and coasted down Mt. Evans in Colorado and by the time I got the bottom it said my DTE was 1200 miles. So what?

You do way more harm than good running your tank to fumes like that - but if that's what gets your rocks off then press on dude. Just don't whine to me when you're out of gas and stranded.

What's a pointing of driving with fuel gauge on empty ? When you'll fill up you'll need to put more.
