Default Re: Guess I'll try for a 700mile tank too.

i dont like driving with low gas either - i remember auto-stopping at a light with a slight incline with the gas light on and no bars of gas showing - when i let go of the brake, the engine didnt fire up as usual, and i had to push the gas to the floor, gettting full ima assist for two seconds before the engine started up and i was able to move again. perhaps it was just a blip but it sure scared me

i'm at 427.7 miles and 51.0 mpg showing on the odometer, four bars of gas remaining. don't know if i can make it to 600 miles, because the real mpg is overestimated at least 1 mpg by the car and i never top off. there should be at least 3.5 gallons of gas left in my tank, so maybe if i bring my average up i can make it to 600
