Default Fuel question
I'm wondering, what the longest distance you've driven with the low fuel light on (1.8T motor)

I just did 24 miles today- and I wasn't coasting into the gas station either, but I thought I might have too.

I've done 50 miles after it said 0 miles.

I heavily do not reccomend driving over 15 after it says 0

lately i've been chickening out when it says 0. My gas gauge has been doing some funky things to i have a few trust issues with it. when it says 0, i start thinking it was actually 0, 10 miles before

Guess I could add that it took 14.95 gallons to top it off. I think that's the most I've ever had to put in it.

At 1st I went "Why is there no low fuel light on my car " Then I realized it's been too long since I've drove my car >.< The max I've gone is 50ish miles after it came on.
