I always ride with a 1/4 tank or less.

Car weights less...goes faster I figure

well IMO

when you pouring/adding something on it then it is "half full"

but if you using or drinking etc... off of it, then it is "half empty"

but then again, it doesn't really fukin matter if you understand the statement... it gets me sometimes knowing english/or "american language" (rush hour) is my 2nd language

naaahhh! just my .02

now back to searching to higher cc fuel injectors!

Don't risk it. Not good for your fuel pump.

GOOD JOB guy....for reviving an 8 year old thread.

your gas light comes on somewhere around 11gals.

meaning you have 2 gals left before you are completely out. do the math.

Re: How many miles after fuel empty light comes on

Since this thread has been revived, I just want to say that I managed to push my car to 500.4 miles on my last tank. Filled up 13.125 gallons.

Pretty damn close to empty, not doing that again. Once was enough for me hahah

I only got that many in from highway driving. I'm impressed with our Civics.

Re: How many miles after fuel empty light comes on

Never really believed in the dirt in the tank thing. You have a fuel filter for this EXACT reason. Think about it, you are sloshing around dirt in your tank regardless when driving. Won't make a difference.
