How Far Can I Go?
I'm about to leave from somewhere in my Z and after I pulled in and parked I realized my gas gauge went from one led to zero. The next gas station is 7 miles...do you guys think I can make it? --- miles are also showing up on the LED screen.

You should be fine as there is a small reserve tank, however the gauges aren't very accurate. I've driven a few miles when it's hit " -- --" miles on the range remaining before.

hypermile it! keep rpm down, short shift very early, feather the throttle as much as possible, and tailgate a big transport truck!

I think the reserve is rougly 1.5 gallons (when the DTE starts to reads ----). The capacity is 19 gallons I think. When you fill up, just subtract whatever you put in from 19 & remember that number for future reference.

I made it just fine I had actually driven a few miles before I got to where the screen said ---- miles. Today I drove from having one led bulb and ---- miles to zero bulbs and ---- miles. So if you get it to where its all dashes then you can go pretty far!
