Default Anyone take the gas guage down to 0 miles left?? --->

Boring...I was hoping for a cool display or something. Believe me, this was not intentional. I know that it's real bad for the turbo to suck air. Somehow, I wasn't paying attention (not hard to do in the TT) and forgot to fill'r-up on the way into work. When I was leaving in a hurry to make an appointment, I hoppped on the interstate and then noticed I was on fumes. The mileage til empty said 15. Just about the distance I need to travel to get to a gas station near my meeting. Ten miles down and the guage goes to 0 miles left. I freaked, cut the air off and did lots of coasting hoping to make it. I went another 9 miles just waiting for the engine to die any minute. Fortunately I made to pumps.

Default about 10 mi. past "0" - I was a little nervous too

but I didn't run out of gas. The weird thing is that when I fill up, the gas gauge does not make it all the way to "F"?!<p>GrishFish

Default I ran out of gas at 15 mi to go...

Fortunately, this was while idling in the garage, and not on the road. I don't think the accuracy of Audi's fuel gagues is one of their strengths.
