Quick Gas question

Hey guys the range on my gas says 16 miles left. Is that for the whole tank or until I reach the reserve fuel??

I think that's without reserve. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

^^^Ya you still got your reserve left. You should have about 50 miles left but I recommend just filling it up and note trying to test it.

Yeh best thing to do is drive as long as you want, after it hits 0 and see just how much gas you have to put in there. If you fill up at you only put 16.5-17 galloons, then you could have driven another 50-75 miles.

After much research, I've determined that the reserve after reaching 0 is slightly more than 2 gallons. The number of miles depends on a lot of factors but would probably be between 25 and 50 miles.

I'd do it but its realllllly not the best to run your car out of gas, maybe when my lease is up will see how far it goes and how many time I can get it to crank with no gas in there LOL.
