Typically on American cars the Fuel light comes on and you can drive another 50 miles for a fill up. I never plan to test the theory!! When the light comes on I start looking at gas prices and fill up. Some people love to see Hummers along the road and drivers with gas cans in their hands.

I'll put it this way. Typically, when it comes on I put in about 19 gallons. That means I have 4.5 left. At 14 mpg I should be able to go about 56 miles.
I was comfortable pushing my Jetta 1/4 mile to get it to a gas station when I was seeing how far I could go (399 miles on mostly city driving, 13ish gallons, 1995); I'm not going to try that with my H3. Plus an H3 running out of gas would just delight too many of those Prius owners.

I am the same way. I try and fill mine once it is below 1/2 and if it gets to 1/4 my wife starts freaking out so I have never seen my light come on.

My dad always told me to never let it get below a 1/4 tank. I just look at 1/4 as E

I have an 08 Alpha, I usually wait till the light comes on to fill up. I get roughly 300-320 miles before that happens. I have also been lighter on the go pedal recently to try and get the gas to stretch further and so far so good. The best tank that I have had is 360 and that was at 75mph on a road trip.

I sometimes wait until the low fuel light comes on, lately that happens about 335-340 miles. I have gone 360 miles without filling up but the most i have ever put in the tank was 21.5 gallons, i know it says 23 gallons, i somehow dont beleive it, i put 21.5 after driving 40 miles after the light came on once. would never risk finding out though. with fuel injection running out of gas can be bad.
