I don't either. You need to not go less than 5 or so gallons so you won't pick up so much of the sediment in the tank. But, you knew that already.

Of course! Actually, my main reason for not letting it get lower than that is because I live out in the boonies and I don't ever want to get caught without enough fuel in case of an emergency.

That's as dangerous as running out of gas and getting stranded!

Yeah, she prolly had a little over 4 left, and the way she drives, that would be about 48 miles.

Ok, I pulled out the reciept. It was 21.5 gallons @ 3.95/gallon. So, I guess I had 4.5 gallons left. I normally get 18 mpg... so, I probably had about 81 miles left in the tank. Still, I don't normally let it get that low. I know I deserve to be fussed at. :o

Whether you deserve it or not, we like to fuss!
