So the TL-P's have the etched "A" logo on the steering wheel cover? I actually like that look better than the one on my TL-S. That's faster than I would ever go, seriously.

Because to reach that speed you have to be going downhill and the fuel in the tank shifts forward. That shift changes the trigger point for the low fuel warning sensor.

Maybe it's just not a the point where the light turns on yet. I've notice my needle go that low and no light until a little later.

I reached 130mph this weekend on my TL-P.

Got 415 miles on a full tank. Tank lasted me three days. I drove 25 more miles with the gas light on.

I'm so damn happy. Car's got some *pep* and fuel efficiency.

wow... I get to my last 1/4 of a tank and my light comes on everytime without fail... I can pretty much tell you exactly when it is about to come on within about 5 mins of driving time.

hmmmmm..... i'm assuming that the TL-S will go as fast as the TL-S would go if you were trying to go as fast as you could go in a TL-S....... that's just my opinion.... call me crazy

just because you drive a big wheel around the neighborhood all the time does not make you a professional

That's the highest I went. Couldn't find a long enough stretch around here.

That's in miles by the way

Looks like about a buck twenty five. I noticed you're in 4th gear. Would it have done more in 5th? ...And maybe w/ less fuel/weight in the tank?

Well, it was still pulling pretty fast, not as fast as in 3rd but the straightaway I was on was ending and it was starting to curve to the right, had to slow down, and put my hand back on the steering wheel lol.

No. For one he doesnt have 4th toped out, and 5th would have taken forever to go further. See pic on first page. Thats pretty much topped out.
