last thread for the night...

So how much gas/time/miles can I go on will little in gas tank?
I'm talking about when you hear the ding...and the gauge reaches the red zone.

[e30Matt]

I've gone 45-50 miles in my 318, no idea how much more because that's all I was willing to push it. My 325, probably 20 is the most I'd go with the light on.

[eshghehBMW]

any1 else?

[george graves]

Most I've done is about 10 miles in the e30m30 when the light comes on - I get really SCARED!

[viali8]

i think when the light goes on you have approximately 1 gallon left. Next time take note of how many gallons it takes to top off when your gas light comes on.

[Car Addict]

my light for some reason has never gone on.

EVER!!!

When I drink heavily my light goes on sooner.

[kowalski]

when my light goes on i've usually got about 8 liters left. thats about enough for 80km's and your running on fumes.

Well, since I only get about 20-25mpg , I try not to push my luck. I've gone about 8 miles or so. Plus, it's probably bad for the intank fuel pump to run it till it's dry .

[golde30]

i have gone about 20miles when i had to out in the boondocks with no gas stations in sight...

[blueapplesoda]

i drove once until the OBC said --- for the range. Probably like 35-40 so miles, non turbo

the other e30 didnt have a bulb and the fuel sender wasnt working so i drove it out of gas on the way to work one day. that sucked big time.

[N2MYE30]

um...what ding..what light? I This is news to me. Dayum!...sumtin else to fix.

I suppose that there is not a fuse just for the light/ding.

Dayum!!!

My 535is has had the light on for so long that it now doesnt even work. I just make sure the tank is full before I go anywhere far away.

[bwanac]

I push it for all its worth.

[TwoJ's]

This reminds me of an episode of Sienfeld.

And I've never seen the light on my car. I usually fill up when it's between 1/4 and 1/8 tank.
