Increase life on the edge by 10 miles each fill up, then let us know when you finally run out.

I guess we need to call you Kramer then. Seinfeld fans will get the reference. I've try to never let any car get down to where the low fuel light comes on.

I have the hybrid. The tank is 13.2 gallons. In my experience when the estimated range reaches zero I have about 2 gallons left which is about 75-80 miles.

I guess I am a little paranoid about these things. Whenever I have the oil changed, I check to see if the oil plug is leaking. And then I check it again once I get home. A good friend took his one year old Ram truck to the dealer for an oil change, and he did have a a very slow leak which lead to a seized engine. He had a big fight with the dealer and lost. He never mentioned anything about a low oil light coming on, so honestly I have some doubts about the whole story.

Has anybody have other things that they keep an eye on. I don't think there is anything wrong with a little vigilance.
Well, to be fair, it was a Dodge so that could be a big part of it.
