Default Low fuel warning question...

Hi,

The low fuel indicator just came on and I am wondering how much gas is *really* in there. Does it mean I have 30 more miles to go before I am on the side of the road, or 30 more miles before I am using the fuel reserve?

Thanks, I have to plan my way home!

I've had it go on three times now, and I've had between 1.5 and 2.5 gallons left when I filled up...

Dont let it become *habitual*. Sure you have a fuel filter but overall it's bad for your injectors.

Default It's not a lot -

I had the light go on in Palo Alto. I drove home to Sunnyvale (because gas is 20cents a gallon cheaper here) and it's only about 7 miles away. WHen I gassed up, I manged to put in 15.00 gallons. Figuring the gas tank must be pretty close to 15 gallons, I would say that any time the light goes on, gas up ASAP. :>0
