i was wondering, how many miles can we pull off when the gas light comes on in the is250??
i work in irvine, gas is really expensive here, i wanna try to make it back home and pump gas there, about a 20 mile drive, is this possible??

Wouldn't your computer display give you your "approx. range"?? It really depends on how you drive it and how "hilly" the road is ect. Why don't you just put $10 or something in just to be on the safe side?

Anyone find it funny that in our society our THIRD level of warning still isn't absolute? First you have the gas gauge, then you have the gas light, and lastly you have the miles remaining display...To me (as an engineer) if the display reads 0 miles remaining, you should be unable to move any farther..otherwise this is wrong. Still though I see the need- just something funny to point out

this is very true. I had about 20 miles according to the "range", but when i filled up, it was only 14 gallons.. we have a 17.1 gallon tank if i recall correctly. So i believe we can SAFELY go an additional 40 miles after the range has reached zero, and 50 miles if we REALLY push our luck.
