Why would you do this to figure out your gas mileage? Running out of gas is very bad for your motor. Any and all sediment on the bottom of your fuel tank has been sucked up, has clogged your fuel filter, and anything that made it through the filter, has combusted in the engine. If you need a better way to figure out MPG, PM me, I'd be happy to tell you.

If you need a better way to figure out MPG, PM me, I'd be happy to tell you. Running out of gas is also bad for your fuel pump. Your fuel pump is located in the fuel tank so that the fuel keeps the pump cool. If you have no or low fuel, there's nothing else to cool the fuel pump so it heats up. This cuts down the life of your fuel pump. So the best way to keep your fuel pump lasting longer is to keep your tank full  , well maybe it doesn't have to be on FULL, but atleast have a good amount in your tank haha.  --------------------  |
