when does your gas light come on?
Ever since i owned my 92 sc400...i haven't seen the gas light come on. Does it come on on ur last E line
or when it actually touch or pass the E. This kinda scares me when i get to the last e mark and drive for
a while with no gas light on...so i fill it up. Just think its kinda wierd and maybe my gas light is gone.
anyone have any clue?

no light indicator comes on. does yours come on when it touches the last line or when it covers up the E
. i'm just haven't seen the gas light warning sign. Should i just drive it till it goes past the E to find out if its
my light indicator? I dun't want my car to die half way in the streets because of gas...ya know?

My indicator light comes on really late...like under E....i dunno, i was like you and was scared about running out of gas, but had to find out if my indicator worked...so i just drove until it came on, and there's still plenty of gas left even when it does....it's designed that way.

I've noticed that in our cars... The gas light does not come on early.. IT almost seems to come on at exactly E or slightly below.
Honestly I have only driven once for about 30 miles after the light came on and had no issues.

Once my light goes a solid orange..i know i have 40 to 50 miles more to go...i usually fill up in the city when i have about 430 miles to a full tank...highway im near about 480 miles...just to be safe..hehe. when you fill up your car set your trip meter and look to see how many gallons you put in your car try to max it out with little spillage/overflow...then you will know how man more gallons you have to use...you car has 20.6 gallons if you only fill up with 18 you can potentially go an extra 20 to 25 miles more per gallon depending on your driving style..
