Default To get gas or not to get gas

My low fuel light hasn't come on yet. So should I drive until it comes on and then drive another 70 more miles and run her dry. Or do I just do the smart thing and fill her up.

No this is called wned:

When I had my Cutlass it was giving me 10-12 mpg at best. It had a 16 gallon tank and that time gas prices were at its highest around here. So I go into the gas station and start pumping. The tank fills up and the total is $28, I'd just pumped 16 gallons of 93 octane into my Olds. Needless to say she went another 180 miles before she wanted more gas.

Well mine had only 98k miles on it and was really well maintained because it was a family car. My uncle's friend got it brand new back in '89, then he had it and then my family had it from '00.

If that car hadn't sold I was gonna take out all the interior parts, put a roll cage in, put a V8 motor in it and use it as a drag racer.

That would have been pretty cool. The mileage in this one is 134200. Not TOO bad for an 89. I actually have fun driving it. It's a shame my mom wants it gone.. I'd keep it as a winter car. Those things are TANKS.
