Default Re: How low can you go....

I don't have a 3, but traveling to Moab in the black truck the fuel light came on somewhere in never-neverland Kansas (Damn KS). I couldn't find a gas station out there at all. Then the "Mileage To Go" meter stopped giving me a range to empty and just said "Low".

Holy crap!!! In the middle of freaking nowhere without a jerrycan!

I was on the phone with Adam and sweating bullets!

FINALLY, a station! I filled up 29.5 gallons in a 32 gallon tank getting under 12mpg! Figuring the last 1.5-2 gallons are unusable, well, I was pretty close to a problem.

BTW, that truck used premium fuel at over $3 a gallon at the time! 4,200 miles Buddy... 4,200 miles...
