What the Audi 4000 sticker says about fuel
Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the 4000, latest tested year 1987:
The label also prints an estimated $3,125 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 430 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the 4000 under Subcompact Cars, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.
How the 4000's sticker figure changed
Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 1984 to 1987. Worth checking before you compare a 4000 sticker from one year with another:
The figure has stayed broadly flat across the span. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.

Where to find the VIN on a Audi 4000
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every 4000, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Audi 4000 all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A Audi 4000 whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.

Is the recreated Audi 4000 sticker the same as the original?
It rebuilds the factory equipment, EPA fuel economy and NHTSA safety from official records, so the core Monroney content matches. Dealer-added options and destination charges vary by sale, so the printed total on one Audi 4000 may differ from another.
