[DAYLEY/CHALLENGER]

I normally don't get too low on fuel but the other day I ran until the light came on. Information center said I still had 34 miles left. Have anyone of you ran lower or ran out completely?? Just wondering.:wavey:

I think the low gas indicator comes on when you have around 2 gallons left, as I have seem it come on anywhere from 36-mid 40s. So depending on your current MPG - it could fluctuate. It is a good safety as sometimes there isnt a gas station nearby - but I try to always keep half a tank in my car!

I have run mine down to less than 0 miles remaining. It was my last fill-up and it was raining so I kept on putting it off. I ended up getting soaked anyway, it was the day after Christmas. When I filled up, I pumped just over 18 gallons. I think even at the low fuel warning there is over 2 gallons of fuel remaining in the tank. This was the one time I did this, and this was the most I have ever pumped at one time.

I pumped in 19 gallons this morning..low fuel light came on yesterday. Unfortunately, UN-like my Dakota R/T, this one doesn't caount down DTE until 0. I just get a 'Low Fuel' reading in the EVIC.

On another note, HV...are you on the DBSTalk message board for the HR20 DVR? There is a HighVoltage username there from Texas (yeah, I know...it's a fairly large state. lol).

I thought the EVIC also shows "miles to empty"? Double check, I think you'll find it.

Thats just plain mean starving your Nitro like that!! 1/4 of a tank left and Blue gets fed!!

Cold climate owners should keep at least half a tank to help prevent condensation
