Nissan 370Z Forum  

Anybody run out of gas yet?

I'm not curious enough (or too lazy) to actually run the car out on my own. There has to be someone in the forum who has done it by now...

I read in a thread yesterday that some people have run their indicator till it was out of lights and still made it like 20 more miles. The miles left on tank was already at 0 because it's based averages and not definitives.

True, at two dots/lights showing, the warning comes on and the tank will still have a little over 2 gallons in it. At the combined hwy/city average, you can go another 45 or 50 miles. It will hit no dots/lights in another 30 miles or so, so about 20 miles left after zero dots. Bottom line, with the safety cushion Nissan has left us, you'd have to really push it to end up out of gas.
