nsxtasy said:As noted in the Fuel Capacity section of the FAQ (in the Technical area), the NSX holds 18.6 gallons of gasoline (that includes 18.5 in the tank and 0.1 gallon in the lines), and the low fuel light goes on when 2.7 gallons are left. So the number of miles you should get before the light goes on is 15.9 times your miles per gallon. The EPA fuel ratings are 17-19 mpg city and 24 highway. Do the math and if you're getting the EPA ratings, the light should go on after 270-302 miles of city driving, or 382 miles of highway driving. I, too, have gotten 28-29 mpg on a long trip, and yes, this means ~450 miles on a tank.
Those who are claiming that they get 200-250 miles should instead tell us how many miles per gallon they are getting. Why? Because one person might fill the tank when the fuel gauge shows 1/8 full, another when it's 1/4 full, and another when the low fuel light goes on. Tell us how many miles per gallon you get and it eliminates those differences as a variable. (I'm betting YMNA2 gets only 200 miles to the tankful because he doesn't let the needle go down below E where the warning light goes on.)
That's correct.nis350 said:so the low fuel light does not come on until the needle falls below the red?
