I pay no attention to the lights, but when the warning comes up in the window it usually takes 16.XX gallons...

I know lately that $20 gives me half my lights back ;)

So, in summary.....assuming gas remains about $2.50, if more than half the lights are out, it should take $20 worth, no problem?

Speaking of fueling up the car... you guys notice the fuel nozzle doesn't go in as deep? I actually put more more effort keeping the nozzle in and upright. It feels like it doesn't go in deep enough [knock on wood].

After the last light goes out, you should have, "I'm guessing/assuming 2 to 3 gallons".
"But if you take it that low, you're going to suck up the crap and gunk from the bottom of your tank"! Not a good thing to do! I wouldn't go below a quarter of a tank!

Half lights, $20.00 for sure!

Sounds good. Mysterious lights solved.

I average about 18-20 miles, after the last light has gone out. At that point, the amount of gas that I can fill up is just about 19 gal, usually around 18.7-18.8gal. The 18-20 miles that I drove, I did this 2 or 3 times, was a mix of highway and city driving, but more on the city side. In that situation, I usually average around 18-20mpg, as I've been watching this stuff pretty carefully.

CONCLUSION: There is approx. 1, maybe close to 1.5gal left in the tank once all lights are out. Also, seeing how its a 19 gal tank, subtract the 1 or 1.5 gal above (from conclusion) that leaves say 17.5 gal that are spread out over 16 lights...or approx. 1.1 gal per light.

Hope this helps :)

91 octane at $2.50/gallon?? Jesus wept...cheapest I've seen recently was $2.99 (ARCO). :driving:

I don't watch the lights, I use the miles remaining display in the LCD and when it gets to about "50 miles left" I get gas.

91 was $1.99 for a while here in OK but has gone up to about $2.50 since last 2 weeks of May.
