my light will go on after bout 10 gallons so theres still 3 gallons left. You can go easily 60+ miles after that.

I think that is the general consenus. Walking down the hwy with those red gas cans isn't a really cool thing to do.

Usually light comes on with three gal. left in the tank. I've pushed it, but usually when it lands on E I make sure I get gas. Ave 20 miles to the gallon, shifting under 4k. Mixed city and Hwy.

I have gone 65+ miles before. I always push it a little to far, its like a game. I have lost twice.

Our car has a 13 gallon tank....the light comes on when there are 3 gallons of gas left. You should be able to do about 75-90 miles when the gas light comes on.

Oh yeah reguarding gas mileage....I do get better gas mileage with cheaper gas. The EP SUCKS down the premium gas like a HOG.

Yesteday when I did my first road trip with my SI my gas light came on and I drove about 20 miles and then did a fill up. Well to my surprise I only added 8.5 gallons to the tank. I found out under my normal driving I have 3 left when the gas light comes on. So I am guessing the computer and gadge do a little calcutation by every day driving too. I do have to say one the way down on my trip I was able to hook up with a back of BMWs and Vovlos that wanted to open their cars up and for about 15-20 miles I was crusing at a nice over 100mph and the car handled great. I could tell there were some guys to happy to see a Honda mixed in with them though but I had fun.

I sure am happy that I got an EP....I just wish I wouldn't have gotten silver.

I think I would be happier with white.

White is the only way to go. I like the vivid blue pearl on the 03's but it wasent out in 02.

I really dont like it when mu gas is low because for some reason you know that if you have 2/3 or empty tank and you race or drive the car is sappose to be faster right? well for my car once it get to 2/3 at the bottom it tend to get slower. once the tank is fill up to half or full i could feel more power. b4 when my gas light went on i've drove for 70 miles because there wasnt a gas station out in the mountain area. I was scared as hell so one i'd found a gas station, filled that shit up to full =)
