I'm considering a NOS kit for my 99 A4, but at 4.00 bucks a pound I was looking for a ballpark figure as to how many passes a 10 pound bottle would last. Jeff

Depends on what size shot.

150= 4-5 1/4 mile passes
100= 8 1/4 mile passes
75 = 12-15 1/4 miles passes

Thanx, that was exactly what I was looking for! I'm thinking a 75 shot most of the time. Was that info with or without a bottle heater? Jeff

$4.00/lbs is kind of high.
Shop around, I only pay $2/lbs, the most I pay is $3
