2001 f 250 superduty 5.4. reg cab. 38 gallon tank right?? how far are you guys pushing your light?? how many gallons we got left??. whats everyone mpg? or miles per tank? im just trying to get a rough idea thanx.

 

In my 06', the low fuel light comes with 80km left to empty.

 

The low fuel info - mine has no light -comes on at 49 miles left in the tank.

I have watched the meter go down to '1 mile' left - when it got to '0 mile' I still went 5 miles before I fueled up. Of course - yours may vary. I can't imagine that these information gadgets are very accurate - just an idea IMO.

 

ok great. i just realized i had a 38 gallon tank and not a 30 like my 150 had so...i know these arent rangers when it comes to mileage but.. at 3.10$ a gallon gotta make it last till next paycheck. so im looking at about 500 miles a tank at say 14 mpg. not bad

 

At my mileage I get about 380 miles (city average)~ 460 miles (hwy average). That's with the 38 gal tank and 4:30 gears on 275/75/18 tires. Luckily, now, I mostly drive a 2008 Impala which has the 3.9L 3cyl / 6 cyl engine management system that really works well with fuel mileage. The neat thing is you don't even feel the difference from 3 to 6 and vice versa cylinder change.

 

I think with that tank size you have about 40 miles to complete empty

 

i forget abourt rear end gear ratios being a factor. ill have to check that out. i drive a old 96 crown vic that gets about 320 miles a tank and thats a what... 18 gallon tank.

 

I've never seen my low fuel light come on. Ima scared...
