Got Gas?
I was wondering how much does our gas tanks hold and yes i have read manual.
here's the story. and please dont make fun, well i know this is dumb but dont make fun of me too bad. i was spending the weekend at my parents' house. i left my place with less than half a tank and i thought that should last me for the weekend. i didnt want to get gas near their place b/c one it's kind ghetto and it's more expensive. so i came home. i didn't realize how much i drove around when i was home. on sunday night, i had only 2 bars left on my gauge (gas). and i thought hum, i made it back to my place before with the yellow light on and it's only 30ish miles. so i drove and sure enough the gas light came on. so i drove and drove. until i got to my town and i stopped to get gas. i knew i was going to get alot of gas but i thought it would be in the 12.9. but i'll let this picture tell you.
so just curious, how much does our gas tank hold? was i about to be stranded in the middle of the high way???

thats interesting..
Ive got 2 stories actually.
1. I actually ran out of gas completely, car stalled and everything, i was going about 40 when it happened so first i tried to turn it back on, it turned on, and then when it tried to rev back up, it died again, so i just threw it in neutral, and luckily i was about 1/10th a mile from a gas station, so i filled up, and I only filled up 12.6 gallons
2. This one happened tonight, I was coming back to Norman from the DFW area, started with about 3/4s a tank, I usually get about 260 miles to a tank on the freeway only (go to houston from dfw alot) and that was before my 4.77s, now I have 4.77s and when i stopped for gas (first shell i ran across) I had 285 miles clocked This place didnt have the "zero ethanol" so i just put in 5 bucks, I managed to get 2 gallons, and when I turned the car back on, i still had 0 bars on the gas gauge! (ive got an AP1, so not as many bars as the AP2s)
