The most recent time the light came on i wated until the warning dropped to about 350 miles left b4 empty and used the entire 2.5 gallons jug i purchased online.

I would estimate that in the last 4k mikes i have used at least one gallon of def per 1k miles.
that seems a bit high. and by bit i mean really high.

fyi get the def from vw dealer. at least around here (northern CA) it's a fraction of the cost of the bmw dealer. I got both the 1/2gal and 2.5gal for $25.
