I always re-set my ODO and Cruise Range when I fill up. I've tried to determine how much gas I have left when the needle is on the last two ticks of the gauge. I think it's around 4-5 gallons. When the needle gets to this position the Cruise Range is around 60 miles. If I have 4-5 gallons left I would think that the remaining range has to be more than 60 miles. My "mileage after re-fueling" is around 26. Cruise Range should be 100 -125.

I heard that a warning light or message comes out when the tank gets really low but I haven't driven that low before. Is there a "safety" range excluded from the Cruise Range that comes into effect at some point when the tank get so low?

Your input appreciated.

 

Thanks for the tip on the light. I'll try to get it down that low and check it out.

 

based on how much mine took the 2 times I saw the light I had 3 gallons left.

But it is not a good thing to run them that low with the fuel pump in the tank. The gas keeps the pump cool.
