New spyder owner: How many miles can you go once the low fuel light flashes

Arr MiHardies · #2 (**permalink**) 10-31-2011, 10:22 PM

I dont usually let it get that low but 1/4 of a tank seems to equal 1 gallon. meaning when it hits red, its still got about 2.5 gallons left. I haven't ran it dry yet only had it about a week. But I just calculated 28.8 MPG during my fill up today. I have gone 150 miles on a single tank with about 1.3 gallons remaining in a tank. I'd estimate the range to be between 150 and 200 miles depending on driving conditions and style

The best that I have done is 171 miles before the low fuel light came on. I was driving in ol' fart mode for that tank.

How far you can go is directly related to what your right wrist is doing with the loud grip!

I've personally never seen the warning light, but I can easily run 140 miles and the RT will take about 4 gallons...

The best I have ever done is 30.5 MPG but I suspect that Bob is right and there is something wrong with my right wrist.

the most I have gone is about 255 kilometers abd still had not seen the dreaded warning light

have no idea how many US miles that is

Just a touch over 158.4 miles...
I've got a headache from the Math though!

I get them nasty headaches when I think

so I try to do that as little as possible

hehe

Well in order to keep your head happy;
1 kilometer equals .6213712 miles
So tuck it away in a safe place; it might win you a bar bet someday!
