Heh, mine does the exact same thing. I got past the mental aspect of thinking that I had no gas when my gauge was on zero. Its kinda funny when my friends get in the car, they are like "WTF are you doing driving on empty dumbass?"

My gas light is retarded it turns on for 30sec. then turns off then turns on again 50miles later. I got scared so I went to fill up my tank and got 15.3 gallons in there da hell is wrong. I still have 1.7 gallons left! I wish I have one of those digial gas mileage gauges telling me how many miles I have left in the tank. My mom's 03 XLE Camry has it and it also tells you the AVG MPG you drive I wish honda had that feature for 6gen EX

I even hit 100 for 2 minutes with these 2 modded hb civics until they exited together.

So in conclusion, HA!! :fawk:
That's pretty damn good mileage. I went from Syracuse-Saratoga Springs last weekend and tried to obey the speed limit when the same thing happened...this hot girl in a 325i had to go by me at 90-95 MPH. Who was I to not follow her at a safe distance and leech off of her gutsiness?

Question...how much gas does the Empty Light come on at? 1/8 left? Never read into this...

BTW, I usually fill up when the light stays on solidly...since it'll come on when it's close, or going uphill or something...then go on and off for a while. I usually fill up around 14.5~14.9. Never gotten over 15 tho.
