Well, you also have to remember that more fuel in the tank creates greater pressure, and more pressure from the fuel in the tank will make the fuel pump's job a lot easier. When you run the tank low, the fuel pump has to work harder to pump the fuel. You're also sucking in more crud and clogging the fuel filter more, and a clogged fuel filter leads to less efficient fuel flow, also not good for the pump or your fuel economy. It's ALWAYS better to fill up at 1/4 tank. The issues individually may not be huge, but when they all add together, it will eventually lead to premature pump failure. It's been proven time and time again by shop mechanics.

I remember when Katrina hit and the first big fuel price spike occurred. There were constantly reports on the news with mechanics seeing increased business because of fuel system failures. I remember one night on the FOX 10 o'clock news, they interviewed a mechanic who cut open a customer's fuel filter and squeezed the filter inside the metal case. Water and dirt poured out. Pretty disgusting. The mechanic said these issues were up 25% at his shop because people were running their tanks lower because they didn't want to fill up at the gas pump, causing a big increase in clogged fuel filters and failed fuel pumps at his shop. It's not a coincidence. The facts don't lie.

Check Gauge nor the low fuel light come on 98's from what I remember. My car has both lights but they dont light up. I have seen a few others with 98 that do the same.

98 here as well and no light on low fuel. Guess are clusters are awsome compared to the 99+. Better temp gauge and less annoying *** lights.

For our 98 camaros i recall the owner manuel said once in the read we have something like 3 gallons left.

I've read somewhere on here before that the bucket holds around 2 gallons to try and keep the fuel around the pump and keep it cool.. So when your light comes on, you have around 2 gallons left in there..

I'm like others though and usually fill up at the 1/4 mark.. better safe than sorry..

All theories ... Ive never had an issue running my car down to E.. I dont have a stock fuel filter, And i have bigger injectors .. My fuel pressure doesnt change from Full to almost empty..

I paid for that gas, and im gonna fucken use it !

You use it just the same...
It's not like the gas fairy comes and removes it from your tank just because you don't run it to E.....

Only difference is that you are dropping the gas to a lower level and causing your pump to have less media to cool itself and disperse heat... Pumps are designed to have gas around them to cool. You may get away with running it to E for a while, but it'll catch up to you in the end.

You have somewhere between 2 and 3 gallons left when it comes on.

dont run less than a 1/4 tank unless you have to the fuel helps cool the pump and can help from premature pump failure plus your just sucking ick
