2004 Tsx
Tank is 17.1 gallons. On numerous occasions I've had the light come on and immediately pulled into a fillup station to find that 12.5 gallons have been used. I've also pulled in as soon as the dial hits the bottom to find that 15 gallons have been used.
So since I average 26mpg I would say I can get 119 miles one I hit the empty light.

y2bmj on June 24, 2011 Highly unlikely, RWD cars in some cases do spin a lltite more weight due to the driveshaft and direction change of power, but the traction advantage more than makes up for it in most situations. When you launch a RWD car the weight shifts to the rear over the drive wheels and increases available traction, a FWD is shifting the weight away from the drive wheels. The main difference between the two is just that the FWD doesnt have a drive shaft to spin and doesnt have to turn the power 90 degrees as the rotation of the wheels is on the same axis as the rotation of the motor (in most cases, there are some exceptions like some audis, acura legends, subaru FWDs and a few others)
Regarding Geministorm's question, For Max Speed, slhoud we be entering the max speed expected on that course, or taking the value from the Benchmark determination? Short answer is the max speed expected on the track. Long, long answer below!Theoretically, the car slhoud reach red line speed in the top gear at the end of the fastest straight you are going to run on. At most tracks you never have a long enough straight in which you could reach the ultimate top speed of the car. What you want instead is to set the gearing so that the car tops out in top gear just as you start to brake for the next corner. However, unless you are going to make a set up for every track, or at least groups of tracks, what I do is to gear the car so that it reaches it's highest speed in six gear fairly quickly; in other words I'm favoring accelerating through through the gears rather than getting the ultimate top speed. For me this is a two step process. I tune (but not gear) per ForzaTune 4. This includes adding a six speed transmission. Then I benchmark the car. Usually this give me the ultimate top speed of the total package of the car. If I think I'm being limited by gearing I alter the final drive ratio to give me more speed. Eventually I have a top speed value, but this speed is reached asymptotically; in other words the last few mph (or kph) take much longer to achieve than the ones before. That's step two. By experience and guessing, I estimate a lower top speed that I could get to a lot quicker. For instance, right now I'm tuning an Alfa Romeo GTA to E275. After upgrades and tuning (but NOT) gearing, running Benchmark shows my top speed as 134mph. When I enter my data into the gearing portion of FT4 I decided to move the slider to about 120mph and using the resultant data from FT4, I set the gearing, then benchmark again. The result is a new top speed of 123mph, which is close enough. I'm giving up 11mph top speed to be able to get through the gears quicker. And Geministorm, thanks for those suggestion on the stability settings. I'll be giving those a try.
i just love the new desing. and i love the white bancgroukd. we indians love colors in everyhting, but the white bancgroukd gives it a more international appeal.one thing that irrirates me all the time is when we are adding questions to Quiz/twister etc, we must be shown as how many questions we have added so far. it creates a lot of problems when there is a contest where we are supposed to add certain number of questions.. one more suggestions, there should be a way to see who played our contest and who rated it.just a few thoughts anyways! C2W Rocks.
