Just courious to see how far you can go after the light comes on for low fuel? I know it's all depends on how you drive your box - but how far did you go?

 

I can farther than I should pretty - within a handful of miles of running out of gas(by then I'm on my way to fill up). Lately I've been smart about it, filling up earlier.

 

I had the light come on one time on the way home and made it home and then out to a gas station later....about 45 miles.

 

30 miles on a regular basis. Unlike my Lexus, you had best be in sight of a gas stations when it's light came on.

When my light first came on my brother drove the car about 10 miles, then I drove another 25 miles before I filled up. WHen I did fill u it was on E maybe a half mm under it, so Yeah i think its like 30-35 before you will be in the mentality of "im a dumb@$$"

 

I've gone 30 miles and then pulled over didn't want to get stranded.

 

The light is supposed to come on with 2-2.5 gallons left, so figure on having 1.5 safe, usable gallons left. If you get 30MPG that's 45 miles.

I figure that if the "UH-OH!" light comes on I had better find a station within 40-50 miles, depending on whether I'm doing city or highway miles.

Depends, of course, on how much of a chance you want to take.

 

I'm too smart to try and find out.

 

I normally could go about 60. but unless i'm going slow and on the freeway i will only get/go about 30-40 miles.

 

I have put 10.2 gals. in mine without the light being on. So it seems to vary some from box to box as to when the light comes on. I have gone about 20 miles after the light came on once, Don't like doing that. I try to fillup when it gets to 1/4 tank.

 

forty usable miles sounds about right.
you should run out of usable gas by fifty. the engine will still run, but it will not move.

try not to make a habbit of running on a low tank. the fuel return system that prevents vapor lock (i think) will be less effective as the amount of fuel decreases. on a hot day, i suspect that you would end up getting vapor lock before you would run out of gas.
