Have I seen my gas light? I usually fill up when it gets low looking, and it's usually after 80-150 miles. No idea how far I can stretch a tank, but it certainly goes fast. So do the tires, got about 6000 miles on the current set and 1/32" left or so.
1/ no mustangs have gas lights...

2/ I get 200 miles for 16 gallon tank when im good with it which is nvr...

Actually mustangs from alteast 87-90 i believe have dummy lights,which one of them is for gas and comes on about 1/4 or 1/8th of a tank and i get about 175-200 a tank it comes out to be about 13mpg avg.

95 mustangs have gas lights. Just run the car down close to empty and it should come on. Or your bulb burnt out.
