    98's don't have a low fuel light and the check gauges light will not light even if you run out of gas.

    99+ get the check gauges light to come on a little below 1/8th tank.

          or pre-98. and my car actually just totally dies from lack of gas when the needle is even with the 'E' line. yea, and for some reason, half a tank of gas brings my gauge to 'F', and the other half a tank pushes the needle past 'F'.

          basically, from max fuel to F is about half a tank, when i get from F to the first line below F, thats about 3/4 of a tank gone, then the gauge just plummits into oblivion (or until my car dies or i fill up).

              My car is like most, runs out of gas at the 1/4 level. I have never seen any low fuel or check gauges light, (the wife has run out 3 times)EVEN after I told her not to let it get below a 1/2 on the gauge [img]smile.gif[/img] . I was thinking that because the fuel gauge ALWAYS shows plenty of fuel, the supposed light never comes on?

                    My gauge is so inaccurate, I usually just throw in like 15$ every week or two. When I fill it up, it goes about 1/4 OVER full, and dies at around 1/4 left, if that makes any sense. I've only run out of gas once, which happened to be a bad day considering it stopped on a hill on the highway on a bridge, so I had the entire lane blocked off.

                    I've never seen a low fuel light, but I think I do remember the check gauge light coming on. Kind of sounds like an easy way to do it..
