How many miles will I get when the fuel indicator hits E?

by **PlayaDelReyDave** » Tue Mar 10, 2009 2:39 pm

It was on E today, and I know I've driven 5 miles with it on E before. How many miles will I get with it on E before I actually run out of gas? Fortunately, I haven't run out yet. I'm thinking about 10 miles, is that accurate?

I've gone 25 miles before without running out. It was well below the E, too.

ive gone 45 with the needle barely past E.
I dont recomend it though, you can damage your fuel pump running it out of gas.

Once the needle is directly on E, you have approxamatly 1.5 gallons remaining as reserve...I wouldn't drive on E too often though, you will clog up your fuel filter with all the trash from the bottom of your tank :/

Wait so are these with the Light ON?

OR is it when you first see it?

i think i read somewhere that when your low fuel light comes on you have like 2.5 gallons left...

by **Loss4wrds** » Wed Mar 11, 2009 6:44 am

I have gone 45mi maybe more from the time the gas light came on till I stopped for gas.

45 is cross-city right there. why would you go for 45 miles before filling up? dayum!

by **Midias** » Wed Mar 11, 2009 11:45 am

2.5 gallons when light comes on so about 50 miles.
