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

, and this morning driving this low to the gas station, I never have my car on low gas light before

, but I also don't want junk gas, so take a risk try to make it the Shell gasstation, it barely, but made it

DOWN TO ZERO

made it and get some juice

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).

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.

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