I've driven a little over 60 miles with the fuel light on. My car took 17.8 gallons of gas. I have filled my car several times with more than the 17.2 the book says it holds

I put just under 15 gallons in once, which is the most I've ever done. The lowest I feel comfortable with is 30-40 miles after the light comes on. My 2001 is still averaging 32 or 33 mpg highway.

17.2 should be capacity at first click of the pump... Also not a good idea to run it down to E all the time...

Can the car really run down to empty? Let me re-state that...of course we can run out of gas...

I guess my question is really, how much gas is still in the car when one runs out of fuel... out of the 17 gallon capacity, I can't believe that you can use the gas down to a teaspoon of fuel.

Just like when you drain the oil out of the crankcase, there is still some oil left in the car...

Just curious if any one knows this...

What octane? Why does honda call for 87 and acura 91 for a car that weighs the same with the same motor?
