    thought this was cool info on how many miles left you can drive on when fuel warning comes up!

    Tundra is on here too!

    The tundra value seems low - I have the large gas tank (38 gallons) and I have never put more than 32 gallons in it and i waited as long as i dared after the light came on. There has been a lot of discussion about this on the forum.

    Being from Montana, my fuel tanks rarely ever seen below 1/2 tank,
    1/3 at the lowest.

    An empty tank in winter can cause issues for you when you need to get out. Winter my tanks stay at least 1/2 tank regardless.

    I never get lower than a 1/2 tank around town, but I did run it till the light came on during a road trip. I conformed that I had about 8 gallons in reserve when the light began to glow.

    Yeah, It's hard to keep it over a 1/2 tank all the time on a road trip.
