ive pushed it to about 30 miles after the light comes on, but i put 2 gallons in my tank after i ran those 30 miles and as soon as i got in it the low fuel like came on but with 2 gallons at 25 mpg i should get at least 45 miles or so right??

The Low fuel comes on in the estimated miles at 42 miles I believe, and then the light comes on (or the Low Fuel thing) at 25 miles to go, although.. Im pretty sure through.. umm.. scientific tests that I conducted. Lol, that it can go for more than that. Lol

I wouldn't risk it, but if you do and run out, you can call up roadside and get $5 of free gas.

"fuel range low" comes on around 42-43 i believe. I don't trust that anymore tho cuz I ran out of gas in the middle of rt. 83 in Harrisburg PA about 15 miles or so after that initially came on.

mine comes on at 42 miles left on the read out
we have a 13 gallon tank
when light comes on, you hav 2.7 gallons left
depending on your speed and how much weight is in the vehicle, you can go pretty far
not good to run the car below 1/8 tank often, keep it at 1/4 tank or higher
