too often....

 

Maybe I am exaggerating! I fill up every other day! But $20 each time! I don't let it go down but If i did I probably be doing $50 a week! Just work! 50 miles a day round trip everyday!

 

I do 100 miles every day round trip. I fill my tank every 4 days or when I hit 400 miles on the tank. Ive never run it dry.

 

+1 lol

 

Yep I fill up 2-3 times a week but I have gotten down to 'Range left ---' because I have OCD and only use Chevron 91. Thats 120~180 bux a week, I'm probably going to be selling my G soon and getting a motorcycle and a Titan. G is not meant to be a commuter, my front end looks like crap

 

Not bad, it's $90-100/tank here...and believe me, we're not impressed and I'm not bragging.
Good thing I love driving.

 

Anything over 20-30 miles one way isn't worth it IMO

Lucky my commute is 7 miles one way so i only average 25 miles a day

 

I hear that... drive 16 miles each way @ 19mpg and the gas is killing me. I'm missing my old TDI (40mpg with lots of low-end torque). If I could get a TDI with an engine as powerful as the G, the low end torque of the TDI, and that diesel 40mpg, now that would be a wet dream.

 

I ran my Sentra dry twice. Once I coasted down the hill and right into the only gas station for miles. At 2:30am, I figured I'd just used up a year's worth of luck on that. Another time, I was on a local highway here in Atlanta, and called the DOT. They have these HERO (Highway Emergency Response Operators) trucks that patrol and help change flats, push stalls and accidents out of traffic, and even drop a couple gallons into the gas tanks of brain-dead folks like myself that day. It helps with traffic and general safety. On two other occasions, I was very low and parked facing uphill. Car wouldn't start til I coasted backwards to turn the car level. Still had at least a gallon in both those cases, so got to a station without issue. Never caused a problem.

That said, I have a Scangauge II, and now that it's dialed in, I use it to keep myself honest. I've pushed it too far once and ran out within .1 gallons of when it said my 20 gallon tank was completely dry. Put in just shy of 20 gallons after I made the short walk to the gas station. The gas light comes on with right about 4.5 gallons left in the tank. I will often drive another entire round-trip commute of ~35 miles before I fill-up. If I see a good price on gas, I fill up when the light's on unless I'm late. 50 miles after the light comes on, or if there's less than 1.5 gallons left, I start looking for the best priced BP station. (I get 5% back on BP gas, so that's 20 cents off at $4/gal, more than makes up for any small price difference between competing stations). When you can see space between the needle on the gauge and the thick line at the Empty end of the gauge, you've got 2 gallons or less in the tank. A sustained uphill stretch could stall you out, so that's when you should be nervous.

+1 on the idea of not going below 1/2 tank in the winter. I try to beat this into the head of my g/f and my sister, even though I'm not smart enough to take my own advice

 

Agreed. I did run my Civic Hybrid dry once, hit almost 900 miles on the tank too. The bad part was I also ran my hybrid battery and regular battery flat too. So after I filled up, I needed a jump. I made it within 30 feet of the gas station driveway, in a rainstorm. I laughed.

 

U sh*tting me.. what u do race to the store and race back.. or u got a hole in ya tank

 

He never said he was filling it up from being on E.
I could go fill up every day and only spend $60/wk

 

I only get about 300 miles between fill ups and usually pump in about 16 gallons i havent bothered to check how big the tank actually is

 

Manual says 20.0 Gal, does it not? Is your gas light on at 300 miles?

 

It appears these days that no one ever bother to look at them
