Well, I did it! I was on the way to the airport to head off to D.C last Friday and I knew that I would either miss my flight due to running out, or I would make it .
Back to the story though--on the 6th I was at 852 miles. I didn't think it was fair all of you A4's out there getting more mileage, so I decided to even the playing field. I knew that A3's have 15.5 gallons, and A4's have 16.9 gallons. So at 852.5 miles I filled up with 1.4 gallons of ULSD at the local Sinclair and went off to conquer the 900 mile club.
I then thought that I should take a pic to show that I wasn't even out of the reserve with the extra fuel.
I then did mostly highway driving and on the morning of the 8th I filled up on the way to the airport. I put in 15.4 gallons (so .1 gallons left) for a total of 16.8 gallons on 954.5 miles for 56.81 MPG.
Can I rightfully claim entrance into the 900 mile club?
Cheers,
