MSP Owners: Anyone run out of gas yet?

[SpicyMSP]

Just curious.. who here has run out of gas in the MSP, and been left stranded? How many miles would you assume you have left AFTER the gas light goes on?

 

[Cirielle]

I have ran it very very close. I would say you can at least drive 40 miles no problem without running out. I think I did about 50-55 and had to put in something like 14.3 gallons.

Just filled up for the first time since buying my car last night at 1/4 tank. I never let it get that low. Are trying to say that you got stranded because you ran out of gas... , j/k.

OMG 40 miles? Yesterday I went 10 miles after the light went on ,and it was on the empy line. I thought I was Pushing it.

Ha Ha I havent been stranded YET.................
















....YET

Yesterday I drove around for about 15 miles with my gas light on. (stooges)

 

[changedman]

the light comes on, according to mazda, at around 2-2.5 gals left. if u drive hard, 2-2.5gals=40miles.

55 miles (highway) with it on for my p5. that was a bit tense.

 

[GOTZOOM?]

When I drive with the light on, it reminds me of that Seinfeld Episode where Kramer and the Saab salesman are riding around in that Saab for ever to see how far they can go.

I ALMOST ran out of gas last night, and i kept on thinking of that episode! i just wanted to grab my passangers hand and floor it, haha. But seriously, i drove about 40 miles with the light on before i found an all night gas station. i was sweating.

I go by once I'm below the E then it's time to get to a gas station quick. Then I think to myself I could of gone another 40 miles.

i dont think ive ever seen a NOT all night gas station in LA.

hmm, i asked this question back when i got my car and i dont think anyone ever answered it. pfft!@#$

 

[funnylittlman]

I did it 1 time to see if the light worked and then filled up another 20 miles after that.

The 2nd time was b/c I wasn't paying attention and I put in 14.1 gallons.

I usually go 1/2 a tank and then fill up. that's about 17 bucks here in VA Per week

[Elderain]

I've done 40+ miles after the light also, I think next time I will shoot for 50. Ya know, live on the edge a lil.

 

[14LBS]

ive made it about 40-50 miles also then i had to get off the freeway and get some because the cae started to sputter.lol

 

[1FASTMP5]

are gas gauges suck! sometimes my light comes on @ a little below the 1/4 tank mark. somtimes it comes on right @ ''e''!:wtf: sometimes i park my car and i have 1/2 a tank and then i get in the morning and she's below 1/2 now??????

 

[uclap5]

i think all gas guages suck. i havent been in a single car that has been consistant and reliable.

funny how technology hasnt found a way to measure the ammount of gas in a gas tank accurately.

 

[122 Vega]

I think the light comes on at 12.5 gallons. The tank is 14.5. I never run past 25 or so after the light comes on.
