How many gallons do you usually have left in your tank when your gas light goes on? It seems mine always turns on and when I go to fill it up its only like 14-15 gallons to fill it up meaning I should still have like 5-6 left? How about you guys?

 

when mine comes on, it usually takes about 15 (if i go immediately) to 16.8 gallons (if i wait till the thing says i have 3 miles left till empty) to fill it up.

 

Looks like you have a coupe, so moving this to the coupe sub-forum so you get a meaningful answer.

 

i think i got 60 miles after the light goes on

 

Sedans have different gas tanks?

 

maybe, but probably different mileage .....


Incidently, my coupe was like yours: gas light on> 4-5 gallons remaining.
If you have the navi, on mine after displaying ' **** ', I could go at least another 60 miles!. (altho I wouldn't recommend doing so.)

yeah i tested it out..maxed it out at around 76 miles before it tapped out on the 17 highway and i had to call my friend to come to the rescue lol

 

I dont know, my car never gets below 3/4 full tank mark

 

how many gallons does the G hold ?

 

20 gal

 

I was told years ago to never let it get below 1/4 tank to keep trash from being sucked from the bottom of the tank....

 

Mine usually takes 17-18 gallons when my light comes on.

 

~17 soon after light goes on.

 

Why would you let your gas gauge get that low? I've only run out of gas
once in my life and that was because I was thinking about hooters rather
than what my car was doing, oh yea I was tired too. If I'm driving on a
trip like L. A. to NorCal I don't let it get much below 1/4 tank before I'm
looking for a station....common sense!

the most i will drive with the light on is 30 to 40, i believe grant, aka 1gdupsedan or something like that said he drove 50 miles once btu will never do it agian, so keep it in the range of 20 to 40, about 1 to 2 gallons?
