My 'low fuel indicator' light came on this morning and I just got back from filling the tank. It only took 15.5 gallons so I'm wondering if everyone else's light comes on with about 3 gallons in the tank? All I get from the manual is that the light comes on when fuel is low, no exact level. Just wondering so I know how far I can push it, thanks.

"Where's the needle now Kramer?"
"It broke off a while ago man."

 

I dont think it's much more than 1.5 gallons.

 

When my gas light comes on, I have 2.5 - 3.0 gallons remaining.

 

 

I've filled up with 16.7 gallons before...pretty empty. Believe me, it goes beneath the E line.

 

OK, thanks for the feedback guys. Sounds like it can be anywhere from 1.5 - 3 gallons in there when the light comes on. Good to know.

And while we're talking about gas, I spent 1.89/gallon today in Quincy, MA. Yikes. I won't complain though, I know it's higher out west.

 

Haha, you guys are funny. I've never pushed it to that level, but it's good to know that I've got a few miles even after the fuel light comes on...

 

I'm not complaining about gas here in Texas either...1.67 yesterday.

 

Mine begins to flicker and is empty about 2 miles later. I can also fill way above the "F" on the gauge. Maybe it needs to be adjusted.

Mine doesn't even work so I just go by my miles.

 

keep in mind that your needle with fluxuate slightly depending on the angle your car is at. and 1.45 for 93 here in TN

 

all you guys are lucky, 2.24 for 91 here in ca today. was 2.29 erlier

 

We have a 18.5g tank, and usually the rule of thumb for mostmis-sized passenger cars is 2 gallons after any indicator is employed.

 

Tell me about it, I just put in 13 gallons @ $2.35 Also in CA.

As for the gas left after the light is on, I was told about 2 gallons.

 

i used to get 97 octane before, now i pay a lot more for regular gas, this blows man, if things dont change, i'm gonna have to look at a way to convert the car to natural gas...
