If memory serves, and at my age it often doesn't, when the low fuel light went on, we filled up and found that there was about 2 U.S. Gals. plus a bit left. Of course we were not at the station where we usually fill up so there will be some small variance. nmk |

Last night I filled up the tank after driving with the light on for about 30 miles. I only managed to put 14.50 galleons. This meant that there was 3.7 gallons in the tank when the light came on. HOWEVER, the gas icon remained on and when I re started the car this morning, the icon was still lit!!!  Darth Vader Grey, etc, etc.

Replying to: vbbuilt (Feb 26, 2007 5:50 am)  Truth to tell, I really have little to complain about, save for the two main items. Poor shifting pattern and gas mileage. I hope that both will be addressed when I have my 5k checkup. However, as you claim to be a "Technical Expert", (see your remark in an earlier posting), If I drive in auto and use cruise control more often than not, how does "Fuzzy Logic" enter into this? Darth Vader Grey etc. etc.

Replying to: vbbuilt (Feb 26, 2007 9:57 am) You can tell I'm very technically oriented Vince. Sorry if I have changed Technical expert from Technical oriented. Didn't mean to give you a swelled head.
