As a side note, 91 octane is 3.25/ gallons today in Los Angeles!


10L = 2.64 but you have to add on the 3.6 not on the gauge 3.6+2.64=6.24 g remains. The 3.6 buffer makes it really hard to run out of gas without trying because you can go 15 miles or so past 0.0 DTE. It's designed like that to make it near impossible to run the pump dry or have a problem with the pump inlet sucking air when you are at a steep angle and low on fuel.

I was at about 30 miles DTE when I just filled up:



93 octane @ 2.50/g it auto stopped at half speed at exactly 24.000 warranted a photo. I regularly will put in just shy of 24g since I wait for the low fuel light before getting gas unless I know I'll be where low density of stations or before going to Chicago I will put in enough to get home where the fuel is $1.10 lessa gallon.

I put in just enough to get out of Illinois and it was 3.60/g.
