I usually put gas again on my car when my OBC indicates i have 20miles left. I know its not correct but thats what i go buy. Ive gone as low as 15. I dont know if this is bad? But why is it that the last quarter of gas, the engine is sucking it down quicker. Sorry to hijack the thread, but i dont want to start a whole new thread just for this question.
It's the shape of the gas tank. Because it's not a rectangular box, the volume is different from 1/4 down than from 1/2-1/4.
