Without fail, my light comes on with 5 gallons still in the 24 gallon tank. Figuring a minimum of 15 mpg, I still have a range of about 75 miles when the light comes on.


Don't count on that! Your pump will suck air before the tank is truly empty.

I've run out of gas once and ended up putting in about 22.5 gallons. Generally I figure I've safely got about 40 miles to go when the light first comes on.


FWIW, I get can usually get about 300 miles to a tank before the light comes on and then I can put about 19-20 gallons in (~15+ mpg). 35" tires, 4.56 gears, 3-4" lift, 5spd. Speedo is spot on according to my GPS.
