Gas tank size...
I always thought that the size of the tank was 18 gallons. Well I let the tank get to where the needle was even with the bottom of the E mark on the gauge. Even still I filled it up and I couldn't get it past 15.5gallons. I have let it get low a few times and it's never taken more then 15 gallons. So my question is, is the gas tank on an A6 smaller then 18?

Fuel tank capacity is 18 gallons.
One 9 gallon tank on each side.

On my 2006 I ran it down to the middle of the red E line, took very nearly 17 gals to fill up so not as much reserve as i thought. Range was showing about 30 miles.

I had this same question. I got my fuel gauge down to flat E (unintentionally) and it only took 16 gallons. I much prefer the C5 guage and warnings that had two levels, a "reserve" then a "low", and not this C6 invisible 2 gallons and only one warning very close to E.
The really sad part is that 16 gallon fill-up was the first time in my life filling my gas tank has cost me more than $50. On the bright side, with gas so expensive, its much better to enjoy bruning it.
