So I called the wife and warned her of the impending phone call to come to my rescue with a full gas can. But to my surprise the Vibe made it home and to the gas station.
508 miles ... the farthest I have ever driven that car on one tank of gas. As my fuel log shows it only took 12.2 gallons to fill from that point, leaving at least a gallon in the tank. So I proudly became a member of the 500 mile club, with ambitions to break in the 600 mile club in the future.
Perhaps the only member with an automatic .. LOL

My accord, with a LARGE 17 gallon tank (I could use ~16 gallons) got me to 600 miles, ONCE! I got regular high 500s. My Civic Si has smaller 13.2 gallon tank, and the light seems to come on much sooner, 9.8-10.5 gallons, so I rarely hit 400 trying hard in that car.
