What car/engine you got and how far do you get after the low fuel light pops up?

I'm a little concerned as i've heard it isn't good to drive skylines close to empty and I can't get petrol because it isn't regod yet :(. I'm thinking I might just grab a can and do it the old fashioned way :(.

its not so much that you cant get far, its just that they start spluttering towards the E mark.

if i have less than a 1/4 of a tank and i put my foot down, it will take off but as soon as the force of acceleration takes effect on the liquid in the tank, it moves away from the pump pick up and the car dies hard then comes straight back. rather imbarrising when trying to put a commanwhore i mean commador in its place.

These lights are called "idiot lights", because you are an idiot for letting things get to this state in the first place (not to say I havnt had them come on for me once or twice)

It means get to a servo as soon as possible.

PS - the one I hate to see is an oil warning light (it usually means pull over and call a tow truck)
