Dont drive w anything under a 1/4 tank.. as per personal experiance... i somehow managed to run out of gas with three dots left and 78 miles till empty. dont know how it happened but that dealer said that their is nothing wrong with my fuel sender or the gauge. i wouldnt let it go past a 1/4 tank.

Yeah, I hate going under 1/4 tank in any car. Especially on long trips. I tend to fill up before I even hit 1/4 tank everywhere I go... a little paranoid I am.

i think on long trips it might be ok but if u drive you car like me the gas likes to slosh around and then the car has no idea how much gas u actually have
