    when my gas light comes approx. how many gallons do i have left?

  2. #2
    2-2.5 I have heard.

    I don't think I have ever even seen the gas light. I always top it off around 1/4 a tank.

    i could be wrong, but i thought i read in the service manual that there is 2.5 gallons left... and to confirm that i guess, mine has come on and i put in 13.5 (somewhere around that, maybe 13.2 or 3) ... still you should never let it get that low...

    its 16 gallons but you really can't get 16 gallons out of it. 16 gallons is how much you can put in it when its dry. its a lil less than that because there is a little bit of gas that the car just can't get out of the tank. kinda like tryna sip water through a straw with a short straw, can't really get all the water thats at the bottom cuz the straw is too short.
