Keep in mind that in some cars it's quite inaccurate. My car once ran out of fuel and suddenly completely died while the fuel gauge wasn't even on E yet.

[@The_JDM_Dynasty]

[@kounga999]

Could have mentioned to never try and start a car that's out of fuel. You might blow out the fuel pump.

[@jimmygrant3212]

[@TechSurreal]

For sake of your fuel pump try not to do this. Your fuel is a lubricant for many moving parts of your car's fuel system.

[@louisreichling5971]

Not for gasoline I think, I know that diesel acts as a lubricant but I'm not sure for gasoline...

[@Cheddar555]

At least it keeps the pump cool.

[@TheTreyBombay]

It is still a lubricant for non mechanical driven fuel pumps. The older 1950's and earlier era it did not matter, as those were generally a rubber diaphragm. But the new style electric pumps need lubrication by the fuel, and even more importantly cooling from the fuel.

[@Cheddar555]

Well there's nothing else to lubricate it so you could expect that.

OK, the more you know I guess ^^

Hey Rob, I just wanted to add on what you said at 3:25 about losing brakes and steering as soon as the engine dies. While it is true that the steering will get heavier right away, the brakes won't for that exact reason. With vacuum style brake boosters, the check valve that keeps the brake booster from pulling air back in also holds vacuum in the system so that in the event of an engine failure, you still have a few pumps of assisted pedal action. Still an awesome video and something that I've wondered about myself!

[@strictly_business]

What happens if u can’t start it after u put gas

[@showme360]

Like you average car driver is going to know that! lol

[@nickamarit]

I run out of gas all the time. The range-meter in my car doesn't drop below 40km, so once it hits 40km, it's stressed-mode ON. LOL

[@Pigeonbutter8790]

I ran out of gas and sucked up rust into my fuel pump. I replaced it and then my alternator died. Fml

[@SI0AX]

That's what happens when you don't take care of your car: Your car then doesn't take care of *you*. But it's a lesson, a very expensive lesson to learn...

[@jimmygrant3212]

SI0AX if you live where there's snow you'll actually get rust from the gas tank in the ground. Or you have an older car you can't help the tank going bad over time. When you run out of gas the return line instead of spraying under the gas line it sprays above the gas and stirs up trash in the tank and makes it get sucked into the system usually there's a filter before the pump.

[@shadowthehedgehog4737]

@@SI0AX Sometimes shit just breaks though. I blew an alternator before 40,000 miles and have always stayed on top of maintenance. Replaced it in my driveway and it ran just fine.

[@SI0AX]

@@shadowthehedgehog4737 Yeah, but that should be a pretty rare occurrence with good maintenance, unless you have an unreliable car like a German vehicle, and many low quality domestic brands.

[@ashishpatel350]

Btw running out of gas messes with the fuel pump. You should never let it get to the "e" it burns out the bearings in the pump.

[@1999danie]

Not true.

[@TheBrokenLife]

The fuel in the tank helps cool and lubricate the pump, but running out once isn't going to hurt it.

[@40yr.Old.Nerdin]

Ashish Patel Bit of an old wives tale I believe, and applies less so with modern electric fuel pumps. I've routinely let my fuel injected cars run right down near or below E (never actually died of fuel starvation) and in 18yrs and 4 totally different cars, I've never burnt out a fuel pump.

[@arnoldgrabski6436]

That may be your personal experience, but its still stupid to run your fuel pump dry. Its going to run hotter than when submerged in liquid regardless. Gases have worse heat transfer than liquids.

[@imchris5000]

it does on fuel cooled pumps running them at low fuel wears the pump out faster

hey Rob. You might want to add that if you do this in a direct injected car you could damage it. if it was a v6 you may have been getting a tow, the DI pump can get air in it and then you're stuck.

My 2009 Ford Focus had the same setup, and it would always give me weird readings, I tried to avoid looking at it. With the needle on E and 0 miles on the display, I got about 30 miles from it. It's definitely nice that there is still that safe buffer zone to get you to the next freeway exit.

[@RodknockRhett]

I just drove 15 miles with the range at 0 at my Town Car. It never stopped. Probably got 5 more to go. I basically barely made it home.

[@vallevaan]

[@bensonak47]

It's most likely to compensate for uncertainty with the fuel level sensor, since it can never be a 100% accurate with the gas moving around while driving

[@RobinsM]

It's because the fuel in the fuel lines isn't measured by the gauge in the tank.

[@TheBrokenLife]

There's not an extra gallon of fuel in the lines and the in-tank pump still has to have fuel behind it to push it out... This isn't Days Of Thunder.

[@RobinsM]

Maxwelhse well no shit. Think about the amount of fuel that is laying flat in the tank that isn't enough to lift the fuel level gauge, then what's in the lines and then what's, and then just before the injectors that's a decent amount of unaccounted fuel.

[@dudeofrare]

Distance till empty is an estimate of the max you can go before needing to find a fuel source. not distance until complete shut down. A lot of vehicles in the 1990s had a extra low fuel lamp or check gauges lamp for when the gauge showed 2 to 4 gallons left. The whole point is they are trying to do everything possible to keep people from running the vehicles out of fuel. Including the safe range they estimate you can go on the fuel left.

[@rosegold-beats]

sike. thats the wrong gas. OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH

[@89Interceptor]

i ran out of gas a few times in my first car and i remember it cutting out and then roll starting itself (cuz it was a manual) and for a time that was what i used to determine when i got gas cuz i was in high school at the time and didnt have a lot of money

When my f150 said 0 km till empty. I had 75 km range. Tested it once. Now I know for sure no matter how I drive once it hits 0 I for sure have 50km to find some gas with a 25 km buffer. When your always broke you find these little things out.

[@ChaseDimmitt]

My daily has always overestimated its range. :/

[@godfreypoon5148]

If you've run out of gas, make sure you don't make too much boost... it could run lean... XD

[@Wheretherivermeets]

Your car's fuel economy system assumes you won't be foolish enough to run the sump (fuel) pump dry. there's a liter or two in the fuel lines between the tank and engine, but running your lines dry will cause damage to your car. This is where that extra ~20 miles comes from.

[@BeepBeep2_]

Some do, some don't. My car runs out between 13 and 63 mi to empty (3 times! Will never happen again). Plus, its direct injection, it abruptly runs out. No sputter, no re start.

[@kcspeed9980]

I was driving my 67 gto when i ran out of gas. Because it was a stick I left it in gear so the power steering pump was still being turned by the motor until I came to a stop. And the engine kept making vacuum so the power breaks kept working. It did come to a stop real quick due to the engine breaking. Hardest part was getting fuel to fill the float bowls on the carb. Killed the battery cranking the motor. Mechanical fuel pump.

[@ChristopherTradeshow]

I ran out of gas. About a quarter tank put in. Boom. Battery dead. Got a jump start. Made it home. Next day. Started car. Went about a foot. Car shut off. Called aaa. Jumped it. Then they left. I put my foot on the gas. Boom. Car shut off, and no battery life

[@DO4DALE_6.6]

When your engine dies you don't run out of power assist you have about 1-4 stops for the brakes and a couple steering wheel movements before your accumulator which stores extra fluid runs out.

[@RecklessRegal]

GM didn't give you any grace period intentially. The range to empty is an approximation based on the average fuel economy and how much fuel is left in the tank. Actual fuel economy may not match average fuel economy over those last bits of fuel, and thus you get a range. I owned a CTS-V just like in this video, and saw anywhere from 40 to 100 miles to E when the low fuel market comes on at 50 miles to E.

[@smae.7038]

your car stops the end.

[@Mr.M1STER]

Good. It makes sense that manufacturers would leave that extra few "undocumented" miles before the car actually runs out. It is clever because they know that no matter where you draw a line there will always be people who will cross it, just to see what happens.
