When is it really empty on gas?
Okay, so when the car is off, the gas tank indicator shows the needle about another 1/4 below the empty mark. I'm thinking that if there is really another 1/8 to 1/4 tank, it'll get you pretty far. I just might have to try it out. How far have you gone below the empty mark without running out of gas?

It'll be empty when you're on the side of the road calling someone to pick you up.

Actually the 3rd gne guages have accuracy issues so all of them are different. Let us know how much you squeeeze back in after your experiment.

Well, I have Toyota Platinum Roadside. I know they will give me gas, but I don't know if I have to pay them back? HAHA:arrow:
