FAQ – Audi A1 Fuel
The Audi A1 has a relatively small 45-liter fuel tank (9.9 gallons)
The 1.6 TDI is the most fuel-efficient model, with a rating of up to 76.3 mpg in fuel efficiency. You should be able to go 500 miles on a single gas tank, with the usual wide disparity between official and real-world estimates.
The 1.0 TFSI, the most fuel-efficient gasoline option, should be able to travel over 450 miles and even more than 500 with careful driving. The diesel variants of the A1 are more expensive, so if you rarely drive and are only looking to save money, the gasoline-powered A1 might be a better option.
So that’s how you open the fuel filler door on this Audi A1 (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 model years). Thank you so much for coming along to my site and have a great day.
