    Setting car up properly.

    See when the dis says 0 miles left, how many miles will be left in the reserve tank then? how do yo accurately work out mpg?

    DIS? is it some sort of audi slang respect?

    I know what you mean m8, my V plate Golf GTi had the full display in it and my Audi only has mpg left - I think it depends on the trim level of the car?
