I've been slightly below the line for empty. At least now, I know how low I can go. I watch the gas needle climb when I start the car and try not to get too close to it while driving haha.

WOW you pushed it far. Just be careful of burning up the fuel pump running that low. I usually fill my cars up at 1/4 tank at the lowest. But it's impressive it made it that far that low!

Running that low and pumping after the pump shuts off...

Good to know in case of an emergency though.

Jesus. I pumped 13.5 a few times and thought I was pushing it. My rule of thumb is 30 miles after the light comes on. After that I start sweating.

Did ur fuel gauge mess up after that? Mine did, it doesn't go all the way up past F when I fill up now and my gas light comes on at like 170 mi and goes off and on but I only go to 200-210 mi to be safe, regardless the light on my gauge
