Default I've only gone about 20 miles on zero...

but I've found that the MPG is extremely accurate. What needs to change is the gallons the computer think the tank holds. My manual says it hold 23, plus a 4 gallon reserve. Mine usually gets to zero with only 21 gallons burned.

Default Don't forget never buy gas from a station with the tanker there..

The theory being that fresh gas being pumped in from the top will stir up the water and particulates from the bottom of the tank. I have seen a few tanks removed after long service and they had a heavy layer of crud in them. If there was ever a "no smoking" situation that was it!

Default Re: How low can you go?

Till the pickups froth the gas to a cappuccino like foam and the fuel pump dies a little every time it sees her walk by...

Default I've had mine go from 15mi when I shut it off to 0mi when I turned it back on.

I don't sweat until I go below 5....and that's if there are no gas stations around....
