Looking at purchasing an Audi S4 that gets decent gas mileage 8.1 litres per 100/K. Vancouver to San Fransico return is about $265.00. For a holiday seems cheap. THe Audi A4 is about $225. so no real savings when you consider the great car the S4 is.

yea, depends on size of tank of course. Best range I got in my G6 (15.5 gal tank) was just over 500 miles.

Must have a large tank. I get just shy of 20mpg with my diesel. I can go around 650 on a tank.

Hard to evaluate, without an indication of miles per gallon, or the total amount of fuel utilized .......

I'm sorry, but so what?

You haven't said anything about miles per gallon, nor have you told us what type of vehicle you have, nor have you said anything about the size of your gas tank. You could be driving anything from a diesel Volkswagon Beetle, to a pick-up truck with a 40-gallon reserve or auxiliary gas tank.

As I said, until or unless you say something additional, so what?
