Welcome JWcardy......you will learn to LOOOOOOOVE this site!!

about the gas light....i have no idea......the gas tank is like 11.4 gallons or somthing...just drive till the light comes on...the go fill up. then say it takes 11 gallons or 10.7 gallons or whatever...just try and figure how many miles you may get from that little bit of fuel.....

kinda weird way to figure it out.....but it should work....kinda

fill up like a 2 or 3 gallon gas tank then run the car empty! Then grab the gas can from the trunk and fill it up!

I've gone 40 miles with the gas light on........though I didn't have much of a choice at the time, and I wouldn't recommend it unless you have some gas on hand[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Pretty far actually...I have driven from work to home (70 miles) and still only put in 11 gallons. According to the specs, I still had over 2 gallons plus the lines (70+ miles)

The gauge (and therefore) the light SUCK!!

I think you should have roughly 1 gallon left when the light comes on, so like 30 miles or so.
And I get about 300 miles per tank as well....250 - 300 if I am gassing it around town a lot !!

I got 425 miles to a tank on my way to NOPI nationals last year. My average was 38-40 mpg over the 2000 mile trip.

my gas light comes on at about 340-350. I usually drive at most 20-30 miles before I put in gas... even then I put in 11.5 gallons to fill it up.
