blue06gs Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 most cars usually have a reserve of 2 gallons once the low gas warning light comes on...but u shouldn't try to push it....i did that once and ended up waiting for 2 hours for AAA to show up!!

svarog Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Also when you drive with low gas all the dirt on the bottom of the tank gets sucked up, not that good for the car if its old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcfish Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Also when you drive with low gas all the dirt on the bottom of the tank gets sucked up, not that good for the car if its old ← I have a 300 and when the low fuel light comes on and I fill it up it only takes 15 gallons in a tank that is 19.8 gal. So 4.8 gal. to go. I have never run it down to the E mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked_Lex Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 I've run it down to 'E' and I think a little below, though not by choice. You might have a gallon or more at 'E' but I wouldn't push it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In2Deep Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 I have a 300 and when the low fuel light comes on and I fill it up it only takes 15 gallons in a tank that is 19.8 gal. So 4.8 gal. to go That's about the same as my 06 430. The trip computer shows "miles to empty"...and when I'm at "0"...and fill-up..It takes about 15 gallons. I wish this were more accurate.
