**Next Question:** Do you think you save more money running your gastank low? or do you think you save more money keeping close to full? 😃 ---

i fill up after the light comes on. cause i actually have until it blinks when i really need to get gas. i like to see how close to 12 gallons i can get. oh yeah i have put 16.7 gallons in my firebird at one time. but it wouldnt idle above 300 rpms pulling into the gas station. ---

i wait till “E” in my car, but thats a long time since i’ve probably put 400 miles on my car this year…on my bike i fill soon after the light comes on which means i usually have 30 miles left or more ---

i get 300 miles to fill up, so i put gas in at 300 miles. i run the bitch to the point of “oh shit, will i make it to the station” dry. then i cheat and keep filling after the pump stops, pull out as bit, and resume fillling until the overflow line is filled too. ---

> [@Cutty](#): > > and who the fuck are tom and ray. do you believe everything you read on the net? I regularly ran my cutlass ciera low and went through two pumps in 3 years, they werent the garbage ones you get from pepboys either. i always run mine low and the fuel pump has never gone. Maybe the fact that you had a cutlass ciera had something to do with it. ---
