Low fuel light?
In my P5, my low fuel lights seems to come on just barely under an eigth of a tank. Does anyone know how many gallons are left when it comes on? I know I drove about 25 and it seemed pretty low.

I drove about 50 kms (so, what, 30 miles?) with the light on, and made it to a station just fine. I don't know exactly how far you can push it, but I wouldn't try more than 30-35 miles.
