#400600 Jonathan (User) Need more detail? Gold Boarder Posts: 785 "Reserve" on an 08 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Anyone know approximately how many real-world miles we have on "reserve" on the 08+ (Fuel Injected models)? I've had the light come on before, but prior to the ride up north this past weekend, I'd never gone more than a couple of miles. I know when the light comes on, there's .90 gallons in the tank, so I'm guess about 30 miles depending on MPG?   Logged     Feel free to PM me and call my attention to any detailing or electronics questions!

But that would probually be pushing it and I would not feel good going over about 30 miles. Just my thinking.   Logged     Joe 2009 Road Star Silverado S 2009 Ultra Classic Electra Glide Star Touring & Riding HOG   The administrator has disabled public write access. #400616 TampaSVT (User) Life is hard.

Well, I sure don't do it on purpose, but I was riding with a group (of muscle cars). I thought for certain they'd run low before me, but I had to ride up the line to the leader and tell him I needed to stop for gas. There was no way I thought I'd make it to the next exit. Heh. When we got to the station, 3 guys thanked me, and a few asked the leader if he was playing a game of "see who could run out first". In any case, you know any sediment kicks up when you fill 'er up, right?   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/07/17 20:32 By Jonathan.   Feel free to PM me and call my attention to any detailing or electronics questions!
