I've wondered the same thing. I have never seen mine come on either. And that said, about 5 months after I bought my VX, I ran the gas down REALLY far. Like, below that last marker line, and the light STILL did not come on. But what did come on, was my check engine light. Not only that, my VX was running REALLY BAD. I was scared to death there was something majorly wrong. This was before I had a scan guage, so I do not know what code it was throwing. Anyway, I limped it home from the store parking lot where it started running rough and the CEL came on. After that, I changed the spark plugs with no change. I then took it to the closest gas station, filled up with a full tank of premium and used some of that tank additive that removes moisture from the gas tank. The CEL went off immediately and my VX never chugged like that again. Since then, I never let the tank indicator get below the last line. My feeling is that I got down to the last couple of gallons in the tank and started to suck up water or something. This caused the CEL and the rough running. I don't know why the low gas light never came on.

If you think you have water in your tank. The next time it is low just unbolt the drain hole and let a little out.

UPDATE:

This is with conventional gas and 4 oz of Acetone. Obvious improvements but not enough. I would like to see in the 360s or so. But my tank and computer still need seasoning so I think by the 5th tank I will have my best output yet. I am currently on my fourth tank. This 345 is with some of the worse traffic yet calculated in it. It is Derby week around here for those of you that are familiar with the best 2 minutes in sports and this week = horrible traffic. I was in bumper to bumper for over an hour two days this week.

This came from 20.06 gallons of gas. =17.25 quite and improvement over my almost 10 mpg a year ago.

You guys really need to try Lucas Gas treatment. My wife and I almost always get 370 miles on on a 20 gallon fill up. Also, beware of ethanol, it will spoil your mileage. Honda does not recomend ethanol for any of its vehickes sold in New York State. Exxon/Mobil around here does not offer ethanol mixes so we stick with them, no matter what the cost.

I am lifted with larger tires, that is the resoning behind some of my troubles.
