out of gas?
does any know what happens if the FEH runs out of gas? Can you still run on EV for a short period (ie until you get to a station) or does the system shut down all together? :confused:

If I remember correctly, Gary G. did just this. Something like 22mph for 2 miles and then it slows down like a top until it is dead. There is a post from him on this.
This is how I calculated there was 1.3 gallons left in the tank at 0 MTE. If I remember, I had gone 56 miles past 0 MTE that day before running out of gas. Based on my today average of ~43mpg, I came up with 1.3 gallons. After that post, many others have reported and confirmed 1.3 gallons left after 0 MTE (Miles To Empty). |
Re: out of gas?
My experience agrees with the 1.3 gallon measurement.
I am the one who's car let me travel at 22 MPH ( with foot to the floor ) in EV mode when I ran out of gas. Then, the car's power ran down like a top to nothing... 15 MPH, 10 MPH, 5 MPH, stop. About 2 miles total. #1 the car must be started and running normally first. ( you cannot drive away after a key off with no gas.) #2 there are more than a dozen different "limp home" modes. #3 So there may be more than a dozen behaviors. -John |
Re: out of gas?
good info, thanks all.
fyi: When I filled up last it held 13.5 gals. The display reads 13mi until empty. |
Re: out of gas?
Sounds exactly right!
