No bars left today, filled with 10.4 gallons.

 

No idea how far you can go with no bars, but I will tell you this... I've ran out of gas twice in the last few weeks. Replaced stock fuel pump with walbro and the damn float got stuck so my gauge was off and I ran out of gas. Then we attempted to fix it and, as a test, I intentionally ran it all the way down (270miles on a full tank btw), but now it's stuck at a different level

Anyway, both times, the car started sputtering and I was still able to drive around for like another 20 minutes or so after that. I also noticed that when you are running out, the car won't let you vtec, and you may get a "random multiple cylinder misfire" obdii code Damn float

 

The gas gauge is highly inaccurate, so when it goes to 0 bars (or the light comes on) you could have anywhere from 2 to 4 gallons left in the tank.

20 to 60 miles, in that area. Generally, it's just a good idea to fill up when you do see the light come on.

 

I'd say this is pretty accurate, considering it's a 13.4 gallon tank IIRC and when I hit 0 bars and fill up it usually takes about 10.5 gallons to top it off...

 

Very smart thinking. I totally agree, I never run the tank down below 3 bars without filling.

 

Your performance and gas mileage will both improve if you run it a bit lower though. 13.4 gallons of gasoline at 72 F weighs approximately 83 lbs. So if you have 5 gallons left, you've dropped to about 31 lbs of gas. 50 lbs can definitely be felt in the corners. Plus it's being shed off the drivers side, helping to balance the car's weight better.

 

mine has about 3 gallons when the last bar goes.
