Gas Miles After Light Came On
September 26, 2008 about Chrysler PT Cruiser
I have a 2003 pt cruiser and I drove 30 miles after the low fuel light came on. I filled the vehicle up with gas and it took 12.9 gallons of gas. what stumped me is that the book claims it holds just 12 gallons of gas so I couldn't under stand how it took 12.9 gallons. but shortly after I heard gas stations were not giving a gallon of gas that some of them were checked and the pumps were off. I feel it is a shame the the public gets a raw deal from the gas station with the price of gas today, but then that's another story.

it s all related to density of the fuel and temp fill up at 15 cent or 45f and youll get the correct fuel.
