Unhappy How much gas left when light comes on?

I don't know how everyone else feels about this, but I hate the fact the the low fuel indicator comes on, I drive until it says I have ZERO miles before I'm out of gas & when refilled I only put 14.5 gallons in a 17 gallon tank! I don't have a problem with them being a little conservative, but this is ridiculous! I figure I can drive something like 50 more miles before I run our of gas!

I second this, Ron... everyone should check your research outcome if talking about warning/low fuel/tank capacity.

I did a thread search "low fuel indicator" and " low fuel lamp" and it came back with nothing. Maybe this was due to the system upgrade....

Actually, it's probably a good thing. That sludge at the bottom of the tank does no good to anyone. I know its a pain but it's better to fill up more often than less often. Plus it's better for your mileage as well. :o
