Thanks, BlackDeuceCoupe.

I didn't know HX has a low fuel indicator. Dang, an idiot light in case you don't want to observe the fuel gauge?? I LIKE watching my gauges! Hope they keep working always.

Anyway, I also figured HX is good for ~400 miles before a fillup. Which is much better than the @~260 I get in the Volvo. Don't get me wrong - I love the Volvo for some of its qualities, not the least of which is that it's nearly indestructible, and that includes the engine and auto tranny. But it looks like I'm nearly doubling my mpg with the HX vs. the Volvo.
