Max distance after 0 miles or km to empty

[Juju]

Hi guys, one of the first thing I do when I get a new car/SUV is find how many km (or miles) you can reach after your distance to empty indicate 0.

It saved me one time with my old Escape when I was 17 km away from the nearest fuel pump but read 2 months prior some guy went 22 km...

What's the the fartest you've reach with your Telluride?

On a similar subject, you guys using regular gas? (Not Premium)

800-333-4542... here is the number for roadside they will bring free gas if you run out... there I did my part.... now who is going to be the guinea pig

Bad for your car if you like to drive near empty often. Better not to get yourself in that scenario at all.

Running on Empty? How Bad Is It for Your Car?

We've all done it - looked down and suddenly realized we're almost out of gas. What kind of wear-and-tear does this put on your car?

Back in the 70s my friends and I turned this pursuit into an art form, but of course then it was how far the needle could go below the E mark, or Empty, before you ran out of gas!

I don't know the answer to the question and hope to never find out. haha

My father (a master automotive mechanic) always told me not to let my tank get too low. Over time your tank will accumulate trash/sediment in the bottom. The lower your fuel the higher concentration of junk to fuel your car is pulling into the system.

In that spirit I nominate someone else to find the answer to this question.
