I just bought a used 2000 Subaru Legacy in February and I was wondering: when should the fuel light (the one that comes on when your gas tank gets low) come on? I have never seen mine come on in the six or so months I have owned my car and I have run it down to 2-3 gallons (I have a 16.9 gallon tank once ran it so low that I put 17 gallons in). Is there anyway to get this checked out without running my car out of gas?
Also, my fuel gauge is very, very slow to move to "full" when I fill up my car, could these issues be related in some way, or am I making a mountian out of a mole hill?
