Just curious, how long can you drive on the low fuel light/how far below E will the gauge go? I've had my 88 wagon clear below E and it was still running.
Nice to know someone out there heard the same as I did about fuel pump working overtime with less fuel.ghost_ryder35 said:my light comes on with 2-3 gallons left, so assuming 29mpg your talking another 90 miles after the light comes on. The lower you go the harder you work your fuel pump though, the fuel pump is designed to deliver constant pressure to the engine, so when it gets low and starts sucking up air when the gas is sloshing around just makes it that much harder to suck up the appropriate amount of gas to deliver the pressure needed.
