Ok so I work 14 miles from home and im not sure if i have enough gas to get home. Right now im right under the 1/4 line but i know as soon as i go down a big hill it will go straight down and put my gas light on. There are no gas stations around till i get over the bridge. I just dont wanna stall on the bridge cuz its a 2 lane bridge with no shoulders and i dont wanna be on the news! :-P
Should i be alright?? and even if i get to a gas station i only have 1.35 on me! -------------------- Cruisin down the street in my Infiniti...always lookin for my next trip to Sin City

its not good to keep the gas low all the time. the fuel pump need fuel in the tank because thats how it cools the pump. so, you if run low all the time, you may fry your fuel pump.

[right][snapback]289249[/snapback][/right] Listen to lagos folks, my brother just went through this with his Chevy Blazer a couple weeks ago, and it set him back over $100 if I remember correctly. It'd save you more money to go out of your way to keep above 1/4 tank, so do it! |
