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

I've never really felt right trying to tempt fate with my gas light on.. back in high school I went about 4 days with it on but that's only back and forth to school and only a total of about 35 miles or so..
Nowadays I rely on my gas light, since my gauge no longer works properly. I can fill my tank up to the brim and my gauge will only read a little more than half a tank
