I don't make a habit of pushing the car as far as I indicated in my last post but I'm anal about manually keeping track of my fuel economy and the numbers said it shouldn't be a problem. Of course, I was taking a chance. A lot of vehicles won't let you access the last gallon or so, so I could have easily found myself walking. Normally I try to fill her up no later than somewhere between the 1/4 mark and the point the low fuel light comes on but every once in a while the circumstances require pushing it a bit.

I pushed it a bit on our '13. Let it go until the light came on, then drove about 15 miles more. Book sez 15.9 gal, 2.5 gal 'reserve' when light comes on. Was only able to get 12.6 into the tank. So I figure the reserve is really 3 to 3.5. Nice mileage though, at 31.1 mpg. (minimal AC usage, and 80 percent highway)
