I always let my fuel level run very low but it hasnt shut off on me yet. One day Ima fill up a fuel can and drive the car until it runs outta fuel. Just curious about how much more I can push the car after the low fuel light has come on. I just like to know its limits

Just top off your tank when you push the low limit and see how many gallons it takes. I've never put more than 16 gallons in so when I thought it was low there was really 4 gal. left
The needle will likely go past the last mark on an empty tank

If I recall correctly the official word from Infiniti (somewhere but I cannot say where) is that when the light comes on, you have three gallons left.

My fuel level was down to around 3/8 of a tank when I added some fuel-injector cleaner. They say to add it when the level is low and leave it in as long as you can. It was an 8 oz bottle but I could actually "feel" a difference in how the engine was running (worse, by the way). I almost always use premium but a couple times I have put regular in it just from habit (never had a car that used premium before) and can feel a very slight decline with regular but with this cleaner, it was worse.

Just got back from the gas station after filling up with premium. To make some jealous, it cost $3.39/gallon....

It's crazy how early it comes on with our G's. There is usually 4 gallons left when the light is on. Aka 100 highway miles!

Installed a stillen intake with a z-tube on my 06 G35x, definitely a fan of it. Saw afterwards that it’s recommended to disconnect the negative battery cable, which I didn’t do... even though it’s unlikely I’m hoping I don’t get a CEL now

You'll more than likely be fine. Enjoy the Stillen, it's one of my favorite intakes for the G.

lolololololololol

Maybe for you but when I swapped the 3.5 diff in years ago my highway mileage slipped dramatically. Because the G's pushing 3200 RPM's at 80 these days we'd be lucky to get a touch over 80 miles with 4 gallons. The GTO runs at 1750 RPMs at 80 in 6th gear and consistently gets 24 all day long.

^File a claim with your local municipality to recover the cost of replacement. I know of several people in different parts of the US who have done so successfully. If you get nothing all you're out is a bit of your time.

Yep, in my area all you have to do is file the complaint with either the city or the county, use that picture as well as a copy of the invoice from the tire shop for the total cost of repairs. I've done it a few times over the years and have always just gotten a check from the county/city for their set rate for damage, it's only like $75 per wheel/tire damaged here but it's something.

Rip Michelin PSS.

245/40/19 is stock size for rear 8.5 and 225/40 is standard size for 8" rim. Looks like OEM 19.
