No. Miles to empty on existing fuel in tank.

Gallons used since you have started the engine.

Integral time elapsed with the engine running since you've reset it the
last time. It will blink on you every 2 hours, spent behind the wheel,
suggesting that you take a cup of espresso if you still want to be
alive(a bit of intrusive patronizing on the Audi part here). Great for
calculating the NET time spent behind the wheel on a long trip.

Average, I might add. Boost gauge dependent.

Not really.

You can reset everything, (except for the boost gauge), by pressing and
holding a small button on the lower part of the wiper lever.
