Default Low Fuel Warning Indicator

Any experience out there as to how many miles you can coax out of the car from the point the fuel warning light comes on?

That's right, who's run IT outta gas - how long did it take???

The last 1/4 of lights go down faster on mine than any other. Or so it seems.

i think it just seems faster since nobody likes to pay 25 bucks to fill it up ...all though, we do get pretty good mileage for the type of car the S is

The gas tank is smaller towards to bottom of the tank, as compared to up top.
