was at the track the other day and ran the car down to empty, no bars left. decided to go ten miles into town to get cheaper gas assuming i would easily make it. once the bars disappear you still have a gallon or two left, right? about a mile from the station i start sputtering and then the car dies completely. zero gas left. i let it sit for a minute then was able to start it again and limp to the gas station. but then my fill up was only 12.26 gallons. i thought the tank was bigger. has anyone gotten a bigger fill up?

It's a 13.2 gallon tank, but when I see no bars left I make a b-line for the nearest non-BP gas station. 12.2 is about what I put in every time.

Last bar disappears and you have 1 gallon left.

uh, oh... why not BP? then i wonder why my car died if i still had a gallon left. is a gallon not enough to create pressure all the way through the line or something?

The first week i had my S i ran the thing near dry just to get as much of what ever gas the previous owner had out. I mainly use Sunoco most of the time takes 12-12.2 every time.

because I am boycotting them....greater of many evils.

nah, I just think Honda doesn't want you to run out of gas and to preserve the life of the fuel pump.

I get into a bad habit of running on empty. I guess, I get the satisfaction that I could get 300 miles for every full tank of gas... and I do most of the time. The only time I ran out of gas in my S, I was going uphill, 1/8 of a mile from the nearest gas station. The fill up was 11.9 gallons. I guess I would've made it if the road wasn't going uphill.

sounds like 12+ gallons is the biggest fill up so far... so where the hell is the other gallon?!

Wow, I've never been able to get more than 10.5-11.2 gallons into my car. I constantly run it until no bars are showing as well. I used to get 300 miles a tank ( around 29-30mpg) but after modding it get about 270-280 to the tank. The only exception is obviously whenever I take the car to the track, I still see pretty decent gas mileage. How much does gas cost you guys where you live? I have never paid above $40.

Ive run out of gas before, not a fun feeling. Driving for 2 days on 0 PEZ is not a good idea.

I usually wait untill theres no bars left and its still under 11 gallons.
