Quick Question

i got low on gas the other night and was stuck in traffic so it took me a while to get to a station. I got down to the point where my gas light turned on and now my maint req'd light stays on a little longer then usual...would low gas do this?

You have about 3 gallons left when the light goes on, so figure 60 miles.
and No, low gas will not cause for the maint. reqd light to stay on longer.
