Do the '13 have the same issue?

Yes. The fuel starve problem is a result of the fuel tank design. As far as I know the tank design has not changed at all therefore fuel starve is still a problem.

Before I bought my '12, I had test driven an '09 and experienced fuel starvation when I took an on-ramp to the freeway. If I recall correctly, there were about 2 LEDs showing on the fuel gauge on that car.

I have not experienced this with my '12 and have taken the fuel level lower than 2 LEDs. I don't know if there has been a change to the fuel tank in response to that issue, but in the year+ I've had my car, it hasn't demonstrated the fuel starvation issue (yet).

Let me drive it and I'll starve it in no time flat. I starved mine in only 5 laps from full at the Circuit of the Amercias.

Can't say I'll ever go that low, I would be having a breakdown of some sort I would think.

(And no, not talking fuel starvation or mechanical!)

no, they removed the fuel tank as they did the steering lock.
