    didn't realize I forgot my wallet($) till my light came on... and was 40+ miles from home... I made it home and then to the gas station 42.2 miles... and didn't run out of gas!!

    thats awesome.. i know my gas light comes on and goes off when i am in the 2-3 gallon range.. i have my scan gauge set up to act as a fuel gauge.. works fantastic.. my last fill up was just over 19 gallons.. the scan gauge was only off by 0.05 gallons!

    While i had the entire dash out of the VX doing some mods on the lighting, I drove for a couple of days and since I didn't know how fast I was going or anything else for that matter I ran out of gas on a major highway here in Houston. lol

    ya i've ran outta gas before...wasnt fun...ended up stopping about 300 feet downhill from the pumps and it was 4am so there was no one to help me push or pull....

    ended up having to walk about 3 miles each way to the nearby gas station with no coat in the colorado snow....

    i now go nowhere without a coat in my car....and a spare gallon of gas...
