all i know is when this car gets to 2 LED dots, it sucks in the remaining gas and you get like 10-15 miles out of 2 dots till it shows no more miles.

Haha I usually don't let it get under 3 dots but I was in a hurry after I left the gym. Won't happen again though.

I did just get AAM short tails installed not sure of the effect on my gas mileage yet. Haven't had them on long enough. They sound sick though I love them.

I like to refill near half dots but I have had that 50 - 10 miles range warning, turn off a couple times as well, and still the car kept running. 18.2 gallons needed to refill.
