Well earlier when I was driving the gas light came on, so then I came inside for the night, but what I am asking is, how many miles until you run out of gas from when the light comes on? This maybe already a thread, but I searched and couldn't find.

it depends how u drive. usually the light means 2 gallons or maybe more...i think i ran on it for about 50 miles but i wouldnt recomned it....running low on gas stresses the fuel pumpWhat makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.
You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!

i believe you have 3 gallons left when the light comes on.. i was headed up to a shop to have my car worked on a while back and was very low on gas.. right as i was pulling into the gas station, my gas light came on.. i filled up the tank and put in like 14.03 gallons or something like that.. so id say its pretty accurate..

According to the owner's manual, it is calibrated to come on with 3.1 Gallons remaining in the tank. It has been my experience however, that it will come on intermittently with about 5 gallons remaining. Once it is fully lit and stays on though, you may have about 90 miles if you are lucky (3.1 gallons at 30mpg).

i guess when the light comes on, if you can, put gas in it =) Pretty straight forward. No insult intended.2DAO (2 Door Accord Owner)

^ 64.5liter total (17.04gal). when the light comes on, you have 8liters left, which is 2.11 gallons.
now everyone says that running the car too low on gas picks up sediment from the bottom of the gas tank, but i guess they are overlooking the fact that the fuel pump sucks from the bottom of the tank anyway. and between the screen on the pump and the fuel filter, i dont think the car will complain too much if it picks up tiny specks of dirtLast edited by cp[mike]; 10-21-2005, 08:04 PM.

i think actually its bad cuase if there is low gas that there will be moments where the pump will suck up just air, maybe not alot but just a bit...over time that wears the fuel pump down cause the pump uses fuel to cool it down...thats why i think its bad...What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice.

i would not rely on ur gas light. i allways ran it on emty for a little cuz i would think "ehh the light will come on when it gets real low" but the last time i did that the light never came on and the car completly ran out of gas and shut off (but i was extreemly lucky and i was only like a 100 feet in frount of my driveway and rolled the rest of the way haha)
