Don't our cars go to EV only when they run out of gas, and how far will the PCM allow them to go in EV only?? Sorry if I've raised some old questions since I'm new to this forum and still getting the feel of it..
Thanks

I don't think anyone would fault you for asking. But one of this forum's members have created a string explaining what happened and what he experienced when he has run out of gas. You may want to look at it if you haven't done so already as it is very informative and answered some of my questions as well.
