How close have you come to empty??

I know this isn't a great thinker post, but today I let my car run below "E" the furthest I ever have.. Based on the supposed 17 gallon tank, I filled up for 15.4 gallons today after driving what felt like forever with the light on.

This is probably only the 2nd or 3rd time I've filled up for over 15 gallons.
Most of the time I only end up at 14.XX when the light comes on.

I'm curious if anyone has ever had enough balls like Kramer on that Seinfeld episode and has gone over the 16 gallon mark???

I usually fill up at 13.7-15.4 gallons. The furthest I took it was 16.56 gallons, and when I left work for the gas station the car took three cranks to start. Luckily the gas station was down the block and I made it.

I've never seen my gas light. I have a thing where i can't let it get low. Once there is a 1/8-1/4 left i fill-er-up.

Wow 16.56,,, I was looking for verification of the 17 gallon tank and this does it.

Never seen the light come on. I consistently fill it up at 1/8th tank, I think it's bad for the fuel pump to let it get lower.
