I do not trust that reserve thing.

 

When the Low Fuel light comes on I figure I have around 4 gallons left. Manual says that light comes on with about 3.5 gals left in the tank. Most gas I've been able to put in when that light comes on is 20.5 gallons.

 

You have a low fuel light? must have been taken out in the 03 models, I wonder if it was replaced by the check gauges light when the gauge doesnt register above a certain level?

 

My 98 SLThas an amber gas pump light that means low fuel when it lights up.

 

I believe that there is a big reserve in the tank. I was booting around in the country roads and the light went off. So I went to the end of the long winding, hilly road (about 10km) to the gas station. Turns out it was closed. So I had to head back down that same road, and then drive another 20 mins on similar roads b4 I got to the next gas station. I prolly drove 30-40km with the trip ocmputer saying 1km on DTE. I was ****tin my pants the whole way, even called a buddy to grab a gas can cuz I'd prolly need one. I made it and gave'r a big drink at Petro Canada. Don't remember how much she took, but I was pumping for quite some time

 

I've been able to get 23 gallons in mine before and I never top off.

 

do you know how many Litres are in a USG?

 

I think a little over 3.5 per gallon.

I have a 2000 Durango (5.9) and 2002 QC Dak (4.7). I pretty much run both of them down to the low fuel light. As far as mileage, you just learn to live with it if you love the vehicles. Nature of the beast here.

 

Yea I agree with you Green, about 23 gallons (roughly 80 litres) is the most I've ever put in.

Exactly. I wish I could fill up for 40$ and drive for 8 days like my buddies in Civics, but I've driven civics, and never again (at least untill gas prices jump again). I hate being cut off 20 times a day, being pulled over for no reason (which is the honest truth), cringing when hitting rough roads, and not being able to hop a curb to get around morons at red lights.

My VW surprisingly gets horrible gas mileage. 2.0L with 5-spd. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the 268,000km on the odometer, but still, horrible for a 4-banger. I think i get about 10L/100km on the highway, which works out to 22mpg. Some of the boys in 2nd gen are getting 20 out of their hemi's

 

I think its 4.4 liters/gallon or

but the most I've ever put in mine was 72 liters. and it was chuggin to the gas station
