Huju: Maybe its a varbeshe thing but running a $50,000 vehicle on a near-empty gas tank demonstrates real empathy with your local dealer’s service department since running on fumes doesn’t provide a means of lubricating the fuel pump (which also uses fuel) increases the chances of the engine overheating and assuring that dirt and sediment at the bottom of the tank will get drawn into the gas pump. Otherwise its a great idea.
Even if cost is a concern, fill it up halfway and generally don’t let the tank go below 1/4 full. Totally separate is the risk factor of her running out of gas on the Belt Parkway late at night or driving around yenavelt searching for an open gas station.
