Default Just realized that the washer fluid tank only holds half a gallon

No wonder I run out so quickly. Packing that big 4.2L V8 left no room for a normal size washer fluid tank. Don't get me wrong... I would rather fill my washer fluid tank more often than give up the V8, but man that stuff goes quickly. My 330 held exactly one gallon which was nice. When it was empty I could just dump the entire gallon in. But I'll take the power of the S4.

Default Is that true? I know it is stated somewhere in the manual, but I am in my office now

That is even more annoying. The low washer fluid indicator is annoying enough, but even more so if it comes on when you are only down a half tank. Could you imagine if a fuel guage warning came on at half tank?! We would all go crazy!
