Re: Gas Gauge miles to empty - out of gas

In addition to watching the gauge, you've got to watch how much gas goes in compared to the size of the tank. This is the only way to translate what the warning indicator means. Admittedly, the new STS gives the least warning I've ever seen. My experience in how to translate the warning light:
01 Sable: You might want to get gas sometime this week. (5 gal left)
96 STS: Get gas in a couple days. (3 gal)
93 Goldwing: Start looking for a rest stop in an hour or so. (1 gal)
05 STS: Dude, I hope your cell phone is charged. (you're on fumes)
