you're going to run out of gas one of these days!
when the light comes on, I think you have about 2 gallons left:
My avg mpg is about 17. 17x2 = 34.

That's kinnda close.... My math could be flawed though.

I've run out of gas once. This was the first week I had the car and I was anticipating the same mileage as I had on my Civic. I was getting 380 with my civic...and that was only 12 gallons. Those first couple of tanks in the 8 were so different. I think I got 230 on one tank, and 260 on the other. I continue to see a lot of variability in my gas mileage. This is why I stick with the light. It is fun to see how fast that bar sweeps across the empty line. It really does move fast.

Yeah I use to commute from Westminster to Aliso Viejo and had the luxury of driving the 73 (company paid transponder) however, I never got more than 220 per a tank. I recently started working for a different employer which is in Los Alamitos so my 8 gets a break on the miles. I put 27K on her in a 1.5 year. This year I anticipate only putting 6K on her. Also i noticed since I drice surface streets all the time I get about 180 per a tank.

you guys know the tank is suppose to be 15.8 or .9 gals. so why is it that everytime i fill up when that little light comes on, i can only get like 13.8 gals in the tank before it cuts off.???? and no its not full yet. i can get more in,like almost 2 gals. but it takes another 20min. to do so.

man Omar you are the only one that ever writes back on the event of seeing me. I have been seeing so many RX-8s in Diamond Bar and on the 10/210 Freeways.... Do any of you see me... OH! i forgot... I saw a Black 8 on the 57 N about Saturday night or Sunday night pulled over to the side with a truck. I take it car problems? I would have stopped but i saw you at the last minute..... I was the blue RX-8 with the sweet exhaust sound merging onto the 10W... ANYONE SEE ME!!!!!

saw a WB RX-8 that exited off the 57S with me at Sunset Ave. exit. You wanted to get to me to see me but you could have tried harder in catching up to me.
