You know what...?
Hey gang...!
Since I do have a newer E, I think I do have a slightly more accurate gas gauge than most but... I never let it run below half... Definitely from Mama... Kind of like the "clean underwear" advice while growing up... She doesn't like to stress and by doing so, less stress in her life...
So I'll tell you what, the next chance I'll get, I'm actually going to break that ½-tank rule and fill up my 2-gas cans (plastic: 3 & 5 gallons) to see just what will happen when the (D,D,WR) light comes on... I figure no matter where I end up, 8-gallons should be more than enough to get me back to civilization...
I remember during the 1st week of ownership, last August, I did have the low-gas (DANGER; DANGER; Will Robinson) light go on but being so paranoid, I filled up right away... So now, I'm going to suck it up and hopefully do a roadtrip wherein I can just drive straight til it empties...
Hopefully I'll be close to an off-ramp/gas station...!!! Otherwise, look for me in the news between Sacramento and Los Angeles...! I'll definitely burn SOMETHING to get rescued...! LOL!!! Hopefully it's not grapevines nor almond trees...!!! LOL!!!
