i have gone about 33 more miles after my last bar starts blinking. and i get about 28 mpg. i have never completely run out of gas on the road, so i probably could have gotten a few more miles out of it if it came to an emergency situation.

you should NOT let yer tank get to a blinking bar as the fuel PUMP is in the GAS tank & uses fuel to keep it COOL.. running a tank all most out regularry heats up the fuel pump each time , which will cause the pump to fail long before it's time .... & here's the BEST PART .. it's very EXPENSIVE to remove & replace the fuel pump ! as it's (agin) in the fuel tank ie; the tank must be drained & then removed from the car to replace .. Soo the pennies you think u save by driving all the way down to flashing bar will cost you BIG TIME soon in the future .. Now do you want to take that bet ?

I just never quite understood the economic argument for draining the tank. The further down you go, the more you have to pay to fill up.
