How Far Have YOU Gone on "E" - Toyota Yaris Forums

I usually calculate my mpg and how many miles I've traveled to figure out how much gas is left. I miscalculated one time and stalled my engine literally as I was about to drive across a busy intersection to the gas station across the street. Thank God I barely made it across as the slope was in my favor and just as the light turned red too...

Then I ran up to the gas station attendant to see if he had any fuel canisters for sale and he offered to help push my vehicle. This guy was pretty damn strong to be able to push the yaris up the sloped hill but it was only about 10-20 feet. Tipped the guy and filled the tank up with 12.9 gallons if I remember correctly.

So lesson learned, make sure you fill up as soon as you guys see the blinking light on E
