When the car needs fuel? Is that the correct answer?

For those that let the gas tank go empty before refueling...if you live in an area that gets even close to warm then you are getting condensation in your tank. The water doesn't hurt your engine in any way, but you will be losing some power.

I have to say I am a little annoyed by the gas guage. On E - I think I got 12 gallons in.

Yet, I did like someone's reply about getting reactions while pumping gas.. A gas-station attendant came out from his store yesterday to check out my ride and compliment.. That's pretty awesome.

I just want to be able to put in 18gallons-plus.. guess I'll have to ride the E for a while next time and hope for the best.

I fill up a couple miles after the four lines have been flashing... I fill up about ~18 gallons or about $47.00... I know the car has a ton to go after the light comes on... even after the four bars start flashing... Even when i have let it go a long time, the most i have ever filled up was 18.5 gallons

Lowest I've ever seen on DTE was about 8. I usually don't get excited unless it's less than 20, usually fill it when it starts to flash.

A lot of Z's have a faulty shutter valve in the gas tank, causing the tank to not fill completely.
