I was running late today and didn't have time to fill up before heading into the city. Gas tends to be more expensive the closer I get so I decided to risk it and see if I could make it all the way back to my regular gas station without refilling.

I ran 39 miles after the Low Fuel came up on the DIC and made it. I felt like Kramer in that Seinfeld episode where he was test driving a new car and kept going until they ran out of gas just to see how far they could go.

Wound up putting 17 and 3/4 gallons in once I filled up. Anyone know the capacity of the tank including reserve? I think I was pretty close. And yes, I know it's not good to run it that low but curiosity, and stinginess got the best of me.
