well thats not good lol
i managed to drive the car another 15 miles and died on the side of the freeway next to a chevron. i was well prepared tho as i had a can with fuel in the back. i actually wanted to see how far i can go after it says i got 0 to E i managed to go another 15 miles and i think light comes on around 40 miles to E , so i got around 55 miles after light came on.
this was good to know in case i ever have to max it out in for some odd reason![Smile](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

I've always big a big fan of the 'bottom of the tank sludge' statement, especially since the fuel pickup is ALWAYS pulling the fuel from the bottom of the tank. Always has, always will.
Now, if you happen to have some crap in the tank that floats, that's when you'll find it.
