How Many Miles Left?

[EnginePassion]

Did any one calibrate the IS250 as to how many miles are left when the car displays zero miles? Also, is it safe for the pump (which is in the tank) to run the car beyond zero mile left?

Thanks.

About 1.5 gallons, maybe a little more.

And no, it is not good for the pump to be starved for fuel.

I simply would not let the tank get that low.

I try not to let my tank get that low. If you start sucking fuel from the bottom of the tank that is when you can get what ever junk has collected in the bottom. Most likely your fuel filter would catch it. But then your fuel line can clog and you will need to change the filter. I try to never get below a quarter of a tank.

Food for thought.

Many thanks to all of you.

I always drive the car to <30 miles on the meter, and on occasion I have done about 10 miles past the meter. In all instances, I can't say I remember filling up the tank with more then 16 gallons on gas before the pump shut off.

Not sure how big our tanks are? 17.4 gal? Guess thats about 1.5 gallons left.
