Yeah it was probably your fuel level warning. I had this happen to me last week when I took the twisties home. I had 1/4 tank of gas, and on the first turn, I took it hard (no other way to take them ), the low fuel level came up with 48 miles to E. Then came the 2nd and 3rd turns, and by the 3rd turn it said 0 miles to E LOL. That damn gauge is too fast reacting.

Wow! I never noticed my gas guage change colors when it's low on gas and I know I've been that low before. Maybe I just didn't have my lights on at the time. That's cool though! Most people will never even know that that happens.

Had them same happen to me when I got a little squirrly with a little less than 1/4 tank left. My miles to empty didn't get back to normal till after my next fill up. I knew I had at least a few gallons left because I like to use the trip option to check milage (an old habbit from my vw diesel days). After I filled up things went back to normal.
