ya that was me!!!! I ran out of gas completely and when i put in 1.5 gallons it is at the bottom line on the gas guage....not necessarily where the light comes on tho. It does, however help u calculate mileage. So u know now that when u are on the last line...you have 1.5 gallons left or approx. 42 miles.

But what you guys arent thinking of, is all that crap that is floating around in your gas, and settling towards the bottom, you are just sucking it up into the filter all that much faster. I personally wouldnt make a habbit of doing that, running it till the fuel light came on.

hard to say for me, one day i jus got out of school n hopped on the freeway and the light came on, from school to my house is about 30 miles or so somting like that... and i just kept driving fine. got to a gas station right off the exit of the freeay started to pump in some gas like a mad man, when i looked at the gas pump, i pumped in 10.83 gallons out of a 11.5 gallon tank ... close call huh? so i guess when the fuel light comes on u got about a good 15 20 miles
