With my 2000 GT when the low light came on i knew there were two gallons left in the tank.
With my 2012 GT when the computer warns 50 miles to Empty and displays average MPG as 22 it computes to just over two gallons left in the tank. When i get to 25 miles to empty and the displayed average MPG is 22 thinking i have one gallon left i stop for gas and it takes 13.5 gallons to fill it up. Manual states 16 gallon tank, based upon the computer i had one gallon left leaving an apparent fudge factor of 1.5 gallons. It would seem if i went the additional 25 miles the computer would indicate the tank is empty and my guess is it would take 14.5 gallons to fill the tank??? The gas gauge does not quite read empty.
Anyone drive past the computer warning when it predicts you will run out of gas and find you get about 1.5 times the last average MPG of miles before you really run out of gas (in other words there is a 1.5 gallon fudge factor)? Is the gas gauge needle past "E" when you run out of gas?
