At least your being smart and trying to lighten the load by emptying your washer fluid.

It only does 110 mph. You'll get no enjoyment out of it by putting fuel in it. Just push it off the next bridge

Never had any. This is just a little old beater I use because I spend all my money on rc. Someone who owned it before me beat the crap out of it.At least your being smart and trying to lighten the load by emptying your washer fluid.

My Tahoe needed a new fuel tank. The shop replaced it along with the pump/sending unit. Unfortunately the pump doesn't pick up all the fuel. Approximately 20 seconds after the fuel light comes on...the truck stops. I never go past quarter tank now.

Cutting it close! I had a 99 4runner years ago the gas gauge quit working & had to monitor the mileage by setting the trip. Ugh. My car now will light up when low. Nice. Hope ya made it!

Yeah I made it. I’d never ran this thing that low so I wasn’t sure what it was going to do. I usually have rotten luck with gas our four wheeler doesn’t have a gauge and I forgot to check it and I ended up three miles from home in the middle of July I’d also forgot my phone that day

Some dude down the street told me to take his sons race moded blaster. I pass my boy at my house and make it 5 house farther and she stalls. Dude turned the Gass off before I left.Yeah I made it.

The motorized bicycle taught me to keep a few swiggs in the tank.

I've made it a point to never do that again.

Living in the middle of nowhere has taught me to never let my ride get below half a tank. Just wish I could get the wife on board with it. Sometimes I think it's her goal to see the low fuel light come on.
That's a Tacoma, you should be able to go another15-20mi when it gets to the E mark. My old Corollas would get close to 30mi.Ten miles to town and I’m on empty
My old Outback gave you about 5mi once the light comes on. That car died about 2 miles from my house when I first drove it home from the used dealership that was about an hour away. No, they didn't give me a full tank of gas

My ex would run her car low all the time. I'm surprised the low fuel light never burnt out as much as she had it on
. I think she would do it knowing that when I took her car I'd fill iit. I never kept mine below half for similar reasons. You never know when that emergency pops up.

It's also really bad for your fuel pump to run it dry.My ex would run her car low all the time. I'm surprised the low fuel light never burnt out as much as she had it on

She never ran out of gas.
I think either she liked looking at the light or she knew she'd get it filled up. I'm thinking the latter.
