I drove about 35 miles on the last Pip so I knew I was close...no flashing Pip but at that point it's danger mode. Many have driven on the flashing Pip and hurried to get gas but it's a couple hundred dollar mistake if you run out of gas. The fuel system has to be reset and it's costly.

When I got to my regular gas station this morning and it was closed I dropped it down under 41 mph and just used the battery as much as I could until I got to the gas station about 5 miles down the road. Luckily, this was at 6am and there was little traffic so I crawled to the station just to be safe. Had the Pip started to flash I might have used the battery even more.
