yeah when i first bought my SVX i would always fill up at about a quarter tank. But then my dad told me to run it down and see how far i could go before my gas light came on, and then still drive to see how far i could get. I drove it around on the empty line for about a day and then it got to the "E" and it still hadbn't come on and i drove around for about another day and it was still resting on the "E" and so i figured that the gas light just didn't work so i was on my way to get gas and at the stop light it came on. So now i know. Since then i have drove many miles with the gas light on. I have gone over 400 miles on a tank of gas. I love this car.
