I was really busy today and didn't have time to fill up my tank. I was driving around for 30 miles or so with no ticks left on the gas guage. Anyone ran theirs dry...?

I just dont understand why anyone would ever run out of gas. It takes less than 5 minutes to fill 'er up. It should be one of the most important things you do for your car....

if you run out of gas then you can get a CEL since you'd be running lean in some of your cylinders... its not good for the car so dont do it... do you really want a 20,000 BJ

I think he was asking indirectly how long you can run with no ticks, and if anyone has ever ran out of gas.

today i think i almost ran out of gas.. i was driving w/ no gas bars left.
how long does it take for the car to stop running with no bars left? i drove a good 5 miles before finally stopping at a gas station

you guys do realize that if you actually run out of gas while driving you have a pretty good chance of burning up your fuel pump, right??

dont be lazy!

I think it's a general thing with toyota's (and maybe other cars, i dunno) that you get around 50km's after the fuel light during normal highway driving conditions, not that your fuel light should ever come on anyway :)
