While I was typing my post, I was thinking about Kramer, and that episode. Funny you found it.

'09 5.4 SSV - comes on at 50mi

Are you the first owner? Could some ForScan brogrammer have tuned it out?

Also, are you running with any faults or suspiciously low mpg?

I thought of it as soon as I saw your post. I used to watch that show religiously. :p

I usually just don't notice that I need to refuel until the light goes on.

I am the first owner.

No faults or suspicious mpg.

Before I forget thanks for the video. Good start for my morning!

My '07 low fuel light always came on at "50 miles to empty" on the compute. Every time. Hit reset and it would go out for 5-ish miles and then back on. Truck took 23 gallons of fuel at that point. On a daily driver there was always fresh fuel in the system, even in winter, and I saw the warning from time to time.

On my '17 the low fuel light comes on at maybe 25 miles and not consistently. I rarely run it that low though.

I normally use the left display on my Type 3 dashboard to show digital speed or miles to empty when towing. The tachometer is jewelry.
