Does anyone know how many miles one has left when the when the driving rangeindicator on a 2000 GS4000 reaches 0? I've pushed it a couple of miles past0 when the trip menu starts saying "Low Fuel". Just wondering how accuratethe indicator might be.

Keep in mind that the electric fuel pump in the fuel tank DEPENDS onthe gasoline passing thru it for LUBRICATION. As the pump startssucking air along with the gasoline, the pump's lubrications supplyis also compromised. Keep doing what you're doing and somewhere downthe road ... perhaps 70-100k miles, you'll have a repair bill for anexpensive fuel pump. Completely avoidable.

How many miles left when gas meter says 0?

My '92 ES300 has at least 2 gallons left when the light comes on.

Douglas, you might find the answer to your question in the vehicle's hand book. If your local dealer can't help you , most Lexus have 9 litres (roughly 2.25 US gals) left in the tank when the low fuel warning lights up. Stuart

9*.6/24 ... ah nutz! We all know its really about 50 miles or 80 km. Heck, anyone knows that.
