I barely make it:p
 
I know it is not the good idea to drive car with low gas like this, but last night tried to get home from the casino, and kinda late for gas:p, and this morning driving this low to the gas station, I never have my car on low gas light before:sad:, but I also don't want junk gas, so take a risk try to make it the Shell gasstation, it barely, but made it :p

I don't like letting it get that low either, but actually, there's about a 2 gallon reserve even after you hit 0. It's not recommended at all, but people have have reported going 20-30 miles after it already said "0 miles" on the tank. I've driven about 10 miles past when it said 0 because I had too (didn't want to stop in an unsafe area for gas).

oh really I didn't know that I was nervous and hate to see my baby on the side off the road:p, yeah I never drive that low before:p, just don't want to fill up with some cheap gas, I only use Shell gas:p

I did the same just a few days ago and when I went to refill the car at the gas station, it only filled 15.6 gallons. So there were still 1.4 gallons left.

Too risky for my taste.

I know man, I was nervous as heck, but I have to:p

Eh the only thing that it'll hurt is your fuel pump. However, I don't condone such reckless behavior. :p

po1qw 10-28-12 12:15 PM

same thing happen to me the other night when I was coming home = my first time ever filling mobil gas ;@ always been a Bp customer

Adam350is 10-28-12 12:23 PM

lol Bp, thats also arco. i dont like them.

But I have driven honestly 30-40 miles on 0... cuz i was looking for a combo stop (food + gas) on the free way. specifically a subway haha. AND i only fill up at 76 gas (aka conocophillips aka phillips 66). Never again getting to zero thuogh...

iRock 10-28-12 12:38 PM

Risky business :P

mikez 10-28-12 12:55 PM

I''ve driven like 40 miles with 0 miles left in range before, in fact when I got into the car to drive it showed 7 miles left and I drove the 40 miles to get home >.>

Hoovey689 10-28-12 01:41 PM

Lol yeah I've driven way past 0. 45 miles to be exact. Prolly had another 5-10 miles left. But anything past 0 isnt really good for the fuel pump

jbjones85 10-28-12 01:47 PM

I try to fill up when the light comes on but on occasion have taken it to 0 and then a little more.

I don't know if that's exactly correct..but I may be wrong. I had a range of 1 mile left, when I filled up I filled up 16.7 gallons which means there was about 0.4 gallons left in the car, which with a AVG of 24MPG I should only be getting 9.6 after 1 mile left, (8.6 after 0).

I'm not trying to argue, I'm just putting my input, maybe every car is different based on driving styles and MPG.

Here are pictures that follow.
