DAMN THIS THREAD ALL TO HELL. I've always made a beeline for the pump when my light comes on for fear of running dry. Having read a few of these replies, I just KNOW that I will drive a little further and will wind up stranded on the side of the road. Great...thanks a lot.

Really, you probably shouldn't run it below 1/4. None of us should.
There is so much junk in the trunk...er...tank, that it all ends up in the pickup screen when you run it down.
It all ends up there anyway, but at least it can float away when there isn't a last-ditch siphon going on as it runs dry.

hey swoope, you live in Orlando right? how much driving on I-4 do you do? how much city and where is your driving mostly done? i'm just curious because maybe you could relate to our location and our traffic.
it is not like your hybrid... i have been going green by getting parts that weigh less....

I'm only getting 14 MPG in typical driving. 20 on the highway, but I only do that on long trips. On a "typical" 10 to 50 mile highway trip, my speed shoots up and down between 55 and 125, so I don't see any "carbon credits"!

How big is the gas tank really? I ran out of gas with enough momentum to just coast into a gas station. The fill-up took 57 liters. It is supposed to be a 60 liter tank. The outside temperature was about -10C (14F) if that has anything to do with it.
