gas light
i have a question - when your gas light comes on, how many more miles do you have?
20? 10? 50?
does anyone actually know?
when i have a question about one of life's wonders, i usually use one of the following resources:
1. Males. Guys know about cars and such. So I asked Dad and Jesse. They told me different things.
2. Information guide. Surely the 200 page book that sits in my glove compartment will tell me about my gas light. I searched. It told me that a gas light will come on. And that light means I'm almost out of gas. That's it.
3. Bill Cosby. I look to Bill for many answers in life (what do i do if my child gets drunk at a party? how do I appropriately celebrate my parents' anniversary?). bill always has the answers. however, the other day, my daily dose of cosby show was about a time that dr huxtable let the gas run out. he swore he should've had more miles left. his family claimed they knew better. even the huxtables don't agree on the gas light.
so now i must ask: what is the purpose of the gas light? i can see the little stick dropping close to the E. i know it's almost there. i don't need a little gas tank lit up.

I was always told 20 miles. Of course, it depends on multiple different factors. It's just one final warning that your procrastination is going to catch up to you soon if you don't get your act together. :)
the dealer told me like 100 miles, but he was out of his mind... my book says the light comes on when i have like 1.8 gallons left. I've gone 20-30 miles once it came on before, but not more than that. a very good question though.
I can barely make it to Meade County (28.5 miles away) when my light comes on... and I start to think "oh shit oh shit oh shit" right about the time I pull into town and coast into the gas station...
... yet I still never bother to fill-up before I leave E'town....
