Running your FEH out of gas

When your fuel message states "miles to empty" you have approximately 1.2 gallons left in the gas tank of the 2005-08 models. The 09 and newer vehicles will have approximately 0.8 gallons left at the same message signal. At another "FEH" site, two individuals have run their 2005 FEH approximately 2 miles without any fuel in their tanks. You are limited to around 20 mph and in the last mile the vehicle will slow down like a spinning top ready to topple over.

The use of E10 and "higher" blends will work to dissolve all the "crude" found in gasoline but not in ethanol.

I know two that did this on purpose to provide information to other owners. After adding fuel to the tank and restarting, the ICE -MG1-MG2 recharges the hybrid battery to normal status. There is no need for you to do this.
