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

my light comes on at just below 1/4 tank and i can push as much as 80 miles of start and stop hard acceleration, but my gas needle is weird full to 3/4 is roughly 100 miles, 3/4 to half is roughly 60 miles, half to 1/4 is 60 miles, and 1/4 to empty is 80 miles. roughly 19mpg hard driving (deliver pizza)
