I just filled up, 15.249 gallons and then my car wouldn't start. Had to crank like mad. 7-8 tries till it finally bucked and came to life. I think I ran out of gas at the gas station! Everything is fine.

Put in a gallon on the side of the road then filled it up with 14.6xx more at the nearest gas station. I heard it is pretty bad to run out of gas. All the crap in the tank gets in the lines or something like that. I learned my lesson and try to avoid letting the gas light come on.

Pumped like 16 gal when it only registered as 15.2 (you might want to get gas there all the time!). Other thing could be you being low on fuel and if your temps are similar to Cincinnati's, you could have experienced some vapor lock. Winter spec gas doesn't like to get heat soaked by 65 deg F weather. Just a guess.

Several have filled up much more (despite the published fuel capacity). Have you changed your FPR hose at all? Original hose should be in pretty crappy condition by now.

I was out in BF Kansas couldn't find a gas station, the miles left computer went to 0 miles and I made it an additional 23.3 miles to the next gas station available. I didn't try over filling it either.

Maybe I'll get another shot at the title but I hope not, I got up behind a truck with trailer and was trying to draft off his ***, he kepted slowing down thinking I wanted to pass but I just kept riding ***.
