15 what?
Gallons or miles?
And if miles, how do you know?
Do you go ahead and drive the 15 miles
after it turns red and run out of fuel to
confirm this?
15 miles to go as stated by the information center - so approx 1.7 gal remaining (including the one gal reserve).
Yeah, I know what they're for, I know plenty of people that have them on their cars and I had always wished mine had one... I might just have to rig something up. Looks like it's velcro time
I havent done the seatbelt sequence for both passengers....i just do the one for myself but its a pain when someone gets in and doesnt buckle up. The one for just you is buckle up for 3 secs before you take off then unbuckle it.
I've never seen my tach turn red but have been known to occasionally see my shift light @ 6800rpm . The engine w/cams is still pulling hard at that rpm.
I knew about the belt strap but haven't used it yet. I'll connect it to see if life gets any easier lol. I hate where the belt rides with my seat in the most comfortable position (for me). I guess they thought everyone driving the S197 would be 5' 7'' and prefer the seat all the way forward!! idiots.

I put a locking gas cap on. I just place it top down in the little crack along the rear window while filling up. No problem... I wouldn't have a car w/o a locking cap.
As for seatbelts, I didn't use my seatbelt once as a passenger in a former GF's car. We were driving less than a mile to a convenience store across the roadway. She pulled out in front of a car that was cruising along at 60+mph. She was making a left-hand turn into traffic so her head knocked the driver-side window out and she had a minor cut on her eyelid. I wasn't so lucky. My head went completely through the windshield and the driver-side pillar stopped my body from ejecting from the vehicle. I was basically scalped and it took months for my hair to grow back... I was VERY lucky. I still have flashbacks from that wreck... it's odd to see chunks of your own skin and hair hanging out of a busted windshield.
