Yeah, yeah, chastise me to your mechanically righteous hearts' content, but I'd like to know how long we can actually go after that little illuminated gas pump lights up the cluster. I was on a trip yesterday, and seeing as how I had 3 gallons to start with and I get 35mpg highway (95 ST), I figured I'd have a bit more than 90 miles before I really need to refill. Well, eventually I lost my grapes and filled up before testing my theory (out of concern for the fuel pump, which I don't know if that's just anecdotal or really valid).
But, from experience, how far have you folks been able to push it after the light comes on?

This is a safe place, no one will be judged or discriminated against for confessing the truth wink.gif
