Smile 94 S320 with Unlimited Fuel Mileage ????

Hello,

I was running late to work last week & forgot my wallet with all of my
money & credit cards. In my '94 S320, I normally purchase gas (1/2 tank) on the way - when needed, but about 1/2 way to work, the yellow low-fuel light came on. From work to home is approx 80 miles. I now keep my wallet in the glove compartment. Anyway I was able to continue to drive to work with no sign of running out of gas.

I've been told that there is a small red light below the yellow low-fuel light that will come on when there is only 2 gallons left in the tank (told small red light means running on reserve).

Any truth to this?

Thumbs up

This vehicle runs roughly 470 miles per full tank. When the orange light comes your looking at 80-90 miles before it runs out of gas on empty.
