Not exactly out of gas but close - bucking and spitting for the 1.5 mile drive to the gas station. I've never driven so far under 2000 rpms! The light seems to come on when I have about 25-30 miles left.Originally Posted by Luninox
I ran out of gas in my 928 about a month ago, but all of 150 yds from a gas station with a loaner can, so not so bad. The manual said that the tank is 23.9 gallons, 2.1 gallons of which was reserve. I figured that meant even when my range was down to zero, I still had a reserve of about 2 gallons left. Reasonable guess, but unfortunately WRONG! When it says you have zero range, it means it! "Reserve" must mean something else in German.
I've coasted into a gas station before - long time ago. I was trying to squeeze one more exit on a long road trip (a la Kramer) and ran dry on my way up the exit ramp of I-70 in Indiana somewhere. I threw it into neutral, coasted up the ramp, blew the stop sign, and just barely made it to the pumps. Whew!!!
