not a great idea

but as far as i know the gas gauge does NOT blink faster

i put in 42.2L one time, that was good enough for me. my wife had run it out of gas a couple weeks prior just after a snow storm. she got stuck between montreal and quebec city.....

but when you run of of gas, its bascially like turning off the car. no power brakes, no power steering (and the wheel will lock if you turn too far)

its a bad scene.

Yes its does blink faster. Once you get to one bar left, it will start to flash. I believe this is at 1.6 gallons left. Once you get to 1.1 gallons left, that last bar will start to flash twice as fast as before.(Not 100% sure if my numbers are correct but read your manual, its all in there).
