100% interstate from Dallas to Florida I got 26mpg and filled 15.1 gallons (didn't want to go much below 1/4 tank) so you could concievably be getting about 500+ miles on an entire tank if your car gets great mileage like mine on the interstate.

Quick question- when the needle hits empty, how many gallons are left?

I fill before that, but i just saw a picture of a JDM guage cluster and it was listed as liters (i believe) and said 70 (full) and 5 (empty)

So is E not empty?

I average 13-16 miles in the city. On the highway I am close to 20 miles per gallon.

I have went reeally low on my tank before and past E. When it go really low a little light turned on below the gauge. So I think tfat is when you definately need to get to a gas station. I made it to one thank you to the rotary gods. So I guess E is no qutie empty but it is close. Watch out for the little orange light to turn on below the gauge. Has anyone else seen this??

Well I think Mazda claims it has a 20gal tank. When I fill it up on empty I can only put in 16gallons. SO.....maybe you have 4 left when the needle is on the E

No OEM ever makes "E" truly empty. You get just a little reserve - some manufacturers give you more than others. They also vary with respect to when the warning light comes on. Case in point - I tested a new Dodge Ram and got an additional 90 miles (cruising at 70mph, a/c on) before I ran out of gas.



edit: after the warning light came on that is ... I don't remember how much further I went after the needle hit "E".

I usually fill about 15.5 gallons right before the E.
