How far on Low Fuel
Hi, when I left my house, I had about little more then 1/8 of a tank, when I got to work, my low feul light came on. How far can I go on low fuel? I have about 24k miles on the engine. Can I go 5 local traffic miles?
Thanks,

RE: How far on Low Fuel
My trip computer tells me that I have 50mi left when the low fuel light and ring-dinger come on. I've never gotten even close to the 17gal on a fill-up. Just a computerized guess. I don't trust the computer, either.

...In fact, the less fuel you have, the lighter your car is.
The lighter your car is, the better mileage you get.
That is why some people can feather their pedals for many miles on empty.
