I love his chill, relaxed attitude. Not trying to be a hotshot, just answering a simple question we all want to know the answer to. Thumbs up to you, sir.
Thank you Sir :)
Beautiful GOD watching everything you do.
Blessings forever beautiful GOD and Jesus loves y'all forever. teach everyone you know and don't know.
You do understand that every car ever made has a reserve right ? empty on the gauge is not empty in the tank , most cars reserve is at the very least 1 gallon so if your car averages 30 miles per gallon , you will go another 30 miles or so ! the float in your tank does not scrape bottom so yes there is always fuel below the float in the tank , some cars reserve can be 2-3 gallons depending on the shape of the tank itself! also keep in mind running this low on fuel will suck the sediment off the bottom of the tank as well and can cause all kinds of problems including injector issues
SJC Cobra I drive a 1995 ford taurus and I ran it once on the " reserve " it only made it 2 miles lmfao ... glad I had a longboard atleast to get to a nearby gas station
my '95 f150 goes 60 miles on empty which equals 6 gallons of fuel
my diesel has 1/8 the gauge cut off at the bottom as reserve so it's around 5 gallons. don't forget car makers have to account for the car going up a hill and the fual running from the pump to the other side of the tank.
SJC Cobra Running the car on a low tank will NOT suck sediment off the bottom of the tank. Where do you think the fuel pick up is? At the fucking bottom. It's ALWAYS sucking from the bottom of the tank. Otherwise you'd run out of gas with a full tank. So fucking tired of retards spewing this bullshit.
caliarmyguy Not sure what you're pissed off about but you're both saying the same thing.
Who else has a car on E and watching this? Liked video, good to know I don't have to panic when gas light triggers. And no I'm not watching videos and driving..
Tampatec ive been driving on e for 4 years now
Yeah thats the point of this.....to prevent you from panicing. I have actually planned to buy gas already and them forgot and notice darn....where is the next nearest gas station. So I thinks is good to know. I typically fill up when I get to the red mark though. I dont wait. Cheers.
Me too
I was lol
This may hold for Fords, but you can't count on it with everything. I used to have a Kawasaki touring bike (yeah, not a car, but whatever) with a mileage calculator. I figured they *had* to build in some slack, so I pushed it once. Wrong! The range hit zero and I lost power within a mile.
Great video Matt Damon, I loved you in the Bourne films
Ray Lindert L
Ray Lindert 😂😂
I also loved him in Team America
I loved him in The Adjustment Bureau .
2 years on now, I recently said he looks like Matt Damon to him and 211 people have already agreed with you lol !
Here's the short version:
21.6 miles on empty.
You always make videos on the exact same question I have in my mind. Are you god?
lol ! Sorry.. NO.. we must just think alike :)
Rohan Tolani Don't let him bullshit you. He is god.
AutoVlog No you're god.😂
LOL... seriously though, awesome vid, I've been asking myself the same question ever since I got my 2016 Fusion (Hybrid). I was actually so paranoid about running out of gas for a few long trips I had to do (I had to go Atlanta - Connecticut and back several times for a move, then Pittsburgh and back after that) that I bought a gas can specifically for that purpose.
Some tips though:
1. Don't keep gas cans in the main car area, you can get poisoned by gasoline leaking (even if you don't smell it) - if you start getting slightly dizzy / blurry eyes / headache, immediately pull over, roll down the windows and get out!
2. Do not keep gasoline in a plastic gas can for extended duration, gasoline seeps through plastic!
3. Get a metal(!) "Jerry can" (should be read or green, I prefer red as a sign of flammable / explosive material in it, got mine from Amazon with extra metal spout, don't need the adapter that comes with the car that way, in case it gets damaged / lost).
4. Do not keep it in your car, not even on the inside of the trunk of your car, for an extended time (for more than a few hours, such as for several days; if you bring it to work and back should be fine, I'd take it out overnight though and keep it outside / garage!) - not sure about the law, but I recommend you get a roof rail and somehow affix it there (securely, obviously!).
5. If you plan on having the gas in your gas can as a long-time (longer than a month, but don't keep for longer than a year, label it what it was filled!) then get "gasoline stabilizer - I got that from Amazon). I needed to get that, because I keep gasoline in my gas can for months, for my inverter power generator (have lots of power outages here in west-central CT).
6. Also, for keeping your gas tank with you while driving, be sure to keep it all the way topped off - in case of a crash, gasoline doesn't explode (the gas vapors do), so the more gasoline is in the gas can, the less of a risk of explosion (supposedly, that's what I've read during my research on the matter).
themax2go Excellent tips!
It's like using an iPod touch at 20% battery with no battery percentage indicator.
lol
I would have a Car on Phone ☎ battery 🔋power so that I can Drive 🚗 on the Road for 5 Days with out going to the ⛽Has station in A Hour!
I know I'm a bit late to the video but I needed to comment. My mom has a 2013 Ford Fusion SE that she drives a lot (to the point where I'd presume she'd worry a little about gas) so I was very intrigued to see how far you could get on 0 to E. Told her how far you got and she was pretty happy to hear that you got to 21 and a half miles! Thanks for this video! It was very informative, not stupid at all!
Quite surprising, I guess Ford made a good decision, you won't like to remain out of fuel completely on the middle of nowhere.
F.C.E. 365 TV - iDevice Central yo I'm subbed to u
F.C.E. 365 TV - iDevice Central didnt expect to meet you here :D
Hi
Only Mike comes up with crazy shit like this lol
Definitely informative! I would love to see how the 5.0 V8 does since that's what I'm looking to purchase in the future.
lol ;)
It'd be interesting to see how a Ford Fusion Hybrid would fare in this same situation. As in how far can you get on battery power or something like that in a hybrid.
Generalkidd Yo I'm subbed to you what a coincidence finding you in a random vid
Top gear
anyone else think this guy looks like thanos
Andrew Libby oh shit deadass
This is our gas thanos...
21.6 Miles Don't waste 8 Minutes and 34 seconds of your life :)
Snapper2015 omg thanks saved me a lot of time
Snapper2015 it was worth it
THANK YOU 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Reading this comment was a waste of time...
OUR SAVIOUR
You can drive 200 miles with zero gas in a tesla
And a Ford model T can run forever with zero battery power....
Bad troll is bad
Bored Troll except a tesla doesn't run on gas
Mr. Elecentric no
Mr. Elecentric oh I get it now
this guy looks like Matt Damon lol
Holy hell yes! How does this comment not have more up votes?!
Hale Cooley it is Matt Damon
Hunter Bowman you're funny!
This Matt is great get a life!
+SPUD1880 Matt damon is the one with downs
How many people watching this because they’re broke af and can’t afford gas until payday lol !!
Lmao. . Bro u on point.
I actually am 😂😂, been googling it all night
🤣🤣
Literally me
Right here i got 8 miles on my lexus about 15 miles to get money for gas
Dude this was very helpful I have a 2015 fusion so I know now I know I can go At least the 18 miles, absolutely not a stupid video or a waste of time I'm sure this video helped many people, thanks bro.
thats amazing how far you can drive on 'empty' , but wow, 18 mpg from a 4 cylinder, thats terrible !
would be interesting to see how the truck fairs in the same test though
jambles3 he was averaging 29 on the freeway
I reset the trip computer as the video showed.. while driving on the hwy it got good mileage.. but while city driving It's bad.. I did drive aggressively after a while because it was taking so long lol
I have a 2.5 L Fusion SE, naturally aspirated, and I barely eke out 22 MPG mixed driving. My 3.0L V6 Taurus used to get better mileage than that.
jambles3 he's not driving a civic
Bought my lady of the house a Ford Fusion Titanium a little over a year ago. Really loved this video and appreciate the info on the fuel gauge to actual fuel level specs. It's a comfort knowing that, while driving around with our toddler son, she has an extra 15+ drivable miles after the gauge hits 0.
Y'know I have always wondered. And you answered it. I have a 13 Edge Sport and 17 Fusion Ti. And I can emphatically figure that I have a gallon (or about 4 litres) of fuel left when it hits 0. Thank you for the vid! This is the most useful thing I've watched all day! Cheers from Canada!
I've always wondered how far a vehicle would go once the digital meter reads 0. Thank you for testing this for me! It would definitely be interesting to see how different makes and models might be set differently.
Twist plot: he's driving a hybrid lol
It's a 2.0 EcoBoost :) No Hybrid for me
+AutoVlog btw i would like to know when you put the gallon of gas, did the car crank at all or it started right away. I know that some gas is stored in the fuel pump and pipes. Im wondering did the system suck air at any point.
AutoVlog still on your phone on the highway you absolute idiot
Argjent Brunçaj it's plot twist :-)
Argjent Brunçaj cringe
I never go below the second to last line in my tank. Lol.
I always try to get fuel before going below a 1/4 of a tank.
Same with me.
I never go above the reserve
Supa Doopa me too
1/4 I go and fill up the car
AutoVlog, thanks for this video. Really insightful. I recently did a fuel top up on my Ioniq at 0km to see how much fuel left in the tank at zero. I attracted a lot of flak about not running on empty and how the catalytic converter will be damaged. Was also chided to RTFM.
Great video, thank you for share your experiment! I was so stressed this weekend when the first fuel low alert got in my 2016 Fusion, so I had to pay a toll in order to get a gas station quickly instead of driving to other. Now I see that the Fusion can lasts 15 miles as minimum when the dashboard indicates 0. Good to know!
Reminds me of that episode of Top Gear where Jezza did 800 miles in a seemingly voodoo powered Audi A8 V8.
Grover 800 miles?!
palmtree486 MC London to Edinburgh and back.
UA-cam it he's not lying, he did it..
He carried gas in container thats why
That was a great one, there was a Jag like that too that just wouldn't die.
Do it in the F150...fuel pumps love running dry. Especially on really hot days
Sexy Squidward lmaoo yeahh, run out and itll still be saying 30 miles left lol.
yea, gas acts as a coolant to fuel pumps. running empty or running low on gas often is not good for an electric fuel pump
Most importantly, it acts as a lubricant as well. Good way to burn out a fuel pump.
Sexy Squidward
he said he would if his video got enough likes but he hasn't a month ago now
psht that's a myth. my dad has ran his tank empty on his 91 F150 and he has never replaced the fuel pump
Dude, great video. I got down to zero on the highway between Phoenix and San Diego and lost my mind. I think I drove about 10 miles after it hit zero and that was super scary.
Haha, thanks !
This was pretty cool! Not many people doing this. Always been a Ford guy and love that it's a fusion! Want to see how well the truck does for sure.
Man, I did the something a month ago. my experiment went wrong. the car never started again. the police gave 48 hours to remove the car from the street. I had to tow it and it costs me a lot of money to fix it, not a good idea at all.
Was it a Diesel car? If yes, you yould that it wont start again..
Fail743 no, a regular car.
You probably burned up the fuel pumps because the gas is what keeps them cool.
Hello By the mechanic took advantage of me. I spent a lot of money on the car plus the towing. I'll never ever let the gas reach the last quarter again. the mechanic told me some gas stations mix gas with water. that how they can get you right.
+john ayacko sometimes gas stations get water in the tanks when the cap isn't closed right and it rains then that causes running problems all you need is your gas tank drained and usually the gas stations pay for the charge if done by an ASE certified tech.
lol at 1:29 i have only 3 miles of gas remaining and my car can stop any moment. Let me go to the highway.
Cars are made to have a reserve tank after 0 miles till empty of about 1 and 1/2 gallon and also when the fuel light comes on theres 2.5 gallons left
I have learned an encyclopedia-worth of knowledge from your videos and UA-cam on my 2015 Ford Fusion! THANK YOU for your videos! At least this way, if we're ever in a low miles left state, I won't have to worry! I love the Fusion Titanium, just like you did the leased one that you had. THANK YOU again!!!
Great video. I love all the ones you have done so far. This is very informative and interesting. Do it on the truck also!
you will hurt your fuel pump by doing so. The gas is used to cool the pump. If it goes dry the pump will heat up. It may not happen right away but it's not good.
40hours56 then explain how the pump is dry tested in the factory several times then
I stated that is doesn't happen every time. But during factory you don't have to run the pump long to test it. There are electrical test that can be performed. Also that new car when you get it has some miles on it . what do you think is added to get those few miles on it?
keep doing that and after the $600 repair ask the tech what causes the in tank pump to go out.
Jesse Mejia oh shit is that really why you misfire. Cause I wait till the last possible moment and then fill up and then out of no where my truck started to misfire so I don't know what happened
Jesse, the pump can get hurt by running on low fuel or letting the fuel dry out. It'll not happen on some of the first times you run low on gas or empty it, since they'r designed to sometimes work on that condition, exactly to prevent the superheating to happen often or in the first time you run low on gas. But with time, it'll get weaker.
It already happened on one car I owned. I had this sense on running always with low fuel, just to save a bit of money, and since it was an economic car, I could drive for a long period without to much gas... ended up with the pump stoping working when I was going to a party, and it costed me not just the party, but likelly all the money I "saved" when running with low fuel to replace the pump!
Nowdays, I always get gas before I get on 1/4 gas tank, to prevent this and other things from happening!
If i were to let my diesel run out bad things would happen
tyler boyer what happens??
peaceofvideo I think you need to bleed the system..
peaceofvideo alot of things are lubricated by the diesel and you have to bleed the air out of the feul system
it's actually not all that bad with a diesel. if you run out one of two annoying headaches.
first in modern diesels it's less of a problem. turn key and let fuel pump run for a while. sometimes cycling through this several times.
on an older diesel with a mechanical fuel pump, basically, pray you've really good batteries. the pump only works when the engine is spinning so, lots and lots of cranking.
I've ran out in my 1996 F250 before and I just had to crank her a bunch and pump the gas pedal but she fired back up, not sure how bad that was for the engine though
This channel is growing so fast! Good job keep it up! :)
I like your videos and the ideas you put to the test. Keep it going!
I liked that experiment. That was interesting. You went a lot farther than I thought you would.
60 f isnt cold
?
i was joking
Can confirm -41c* outside.. Location Finland
Can confirm -41c* outside.. Location Finland
By the time you walk 2 minutes you might forget where you were heading to.
Good video always wondered how many miles i had till empty.
Super informative you did a really good job of courting the progression of the vehicle at 0 miles to negative good work
Don't try this with a diesel car. Simply putting diesel in after empty won't make the car start
Jimmy Burgess Thats mostly on older diesels. The newer diesels have more tolerance to idiots these days😂
Modern diesels usually cut out before they run empty so no need to bleed the system.
Jimmy Burgess Actually it nothing happened to my dad
Team Euro Truck Simulator 2 Italia does your dad run on diesel?
Why? I've ran Diesels out plenty of time. That why they all have primers.
when u get to 0 miles till empty, its called a reserved fuel, so u can get to the closest gas station. it varies from car to car.
Its called the float is on the bottom of the tank reading 0. No "reserved" about it. Inaccurate measuring.
love this channel it like answers all my questions about driving :)
I found this video fun. This is my first time seeing your channel and I love it!
I think most car manufactures make it seem like you are completely out of gas when you can still go for another 20-25 miles. It's a safety thing. It's so the driver freaks out when they are coming close to "empty" and they find a gas station with some room for error.
no shit sherlock
My car hits 30 miles to empty then just switches to saying "LOW FUEL" lol it doesn't even try to estimate the distance left at the end
SavageSalad i have a jeep commander and it does the same thng
yup its a jeep
SavageSalad My moms Equinox does that to. But it starts at 28 of all numbers?
SavageSalad Yup. My dad used to have a GMC Yukon and it would just say Range: LOW when you got below 30 miles to empty. That's the "get some gas now you dumbass" setting.
SavageSalad my pt cruiser did that
Thank you for another great video. I called you "King of 3B (Brave Bold & Ball)". Some of your videos are definitely "Don't Do This At Home". Really appreicated your Great Effort!
Mike u r doing superb work man.....love ur videos....love the passion .....thank u n keep making more videos
This made me think of that episode of Home Improvement when Tim says E stands for extra miles. It didn't work for him though.
well fuel economy makes a huge difference aerodynamics and even if you go up hill or down
hell top gear proved a race car gets better fuel range than a damn hybrid
hardwire they used an m3 and it beat a prius at fuel economy
E70X5M on insta exactly its all in how you drive. but i said this before i watched this video.
***** but this was not during there live show. plus wasnt bashing electric just saying that any car can be fuel efficient as long as you keep the throttle off the floor.
let's play spot the hybrid owner
***** how was it skewed? the test was literally ok here is a race car that people say suck up gas here is a hybrid a prius thats supposed to be awsome on gas lets give each one the same amount of gas and the rules are simple the hybrid drives as fast as it possibly can while the race car just has to keep up PLUS ITS FOR COMEDY
I found this extremely informative and you have helped me many times figure out some things so thank you very very much I really appreciate it.
You are on it. The gas cap would have been another question. Didn't know you still need an alteration to put gas in your vehicle with a gas can. And would like 2 see a video on how far you can go on 0 with your v8 f150 please.
I'm watching this at 1%
And strangely enough, 1% of battery seems to last the longest of any percentage..
AKmotorider150 I watched it on 1 percent on my moms phone for minutes
AKmotorider150
Less weight with 1% battery, just like a cars MPG improves has it burns fuel(less weight)
B Novey I'm watching it in 89 percent
2%
I remember being so scared when my car would start to say I have 0 miles left. Good to know I could’ve gone at least a bit farther than I thought I would lol
Really cool to see how far it actually can make it!! Luv these vids
Excellent Mike, have the same color Fusion 2013 , about to upgrade to 2017. Very informative video thank you my friend love your videos your real cool person.
I'm so glad you made this video because I currently have 1 mile left and the nearest gas station is 2 miles away so I was scared that I was not going to be able to make it over there but I'm sure I'll make it now that you made this video! Thanks 😌
i never go under a quarter of a tank 😂😂😂 australia
i drive a car with a very large tank (130 litres) and if i fill it to full it will actually consume more fuel since the car is heavier, so i always keep it between 10% and 40%
i think my 40% is as big as ur tank anyway haha
Untitled Name yeah prob...i only have a little toyota sports hatch 😂😂😂 dont laugh 😂😂😂
Nadia B haha, me too i have a little toyota, well its little compared to trucks, its a toyota land cruiser 😂😂😂
Untitled Name we have a toyota landcruiser also 2013
Nadia B Oh very very similar to mine, its a 2011 GXR
Thank you that's very informative I have A 2018 Ford Fusion SE taking a trip this summer so it's nice to have that knowledge
I found it fascinating. Thanks. I'm thinking of getting a 2017 Escape and hope for that extra mileage on empty.
I liked the video. Good test. I'm pretty sure manufacturers deliberately configure the on-board trip computers so that it says there's 0 miles left but there's still 20-30 miles reserve in the tank to get you to the nearest gas station. We did a similar test with a friend's 1998 Peugeot 406 1.8L petrol and we drove around for about 20 miles before we ran out of gas 500 feet from the gas station. Luckily we were able to push the car there and fill it with much needed gas :)
But it's not advised to make this a permanent practice. All those tiny pieces of dirt that are in a gas tank get sucked in to the engine when you're running on fumes and that could potentially damage your engine. That's the only reason why it said 0 miles on the distance meter so you would fill it up as soon as possible to avoid any costly damages.
Thumbs up from me.
What happened if you push your Overdrive button when you are in overdrive?
Trill Texas time travel
Trill Texas you go out of overdrive? I do this on the highway all the time
I'm wondering if he was joking tbh
you go PLAID!
It creates a black hole.
Great channel, great content, amazing attitude, informative video indeed! Thank you for that!
You're welcome !
Haha, keep the random yet strangely informative videos coming, man!
Oh let's just run the fuel injectors out. Not smart
Skyhawk1987Turbo it's not also not good for your pump
Skyhawk1987Turbo it's a lease bro
When I turn my lease in I trash my car
+palmtree486 MC what's your point
Skyhawk1987Turbo Nobody cares about leased cars. After it's gone it's no longer their problem
When did Mr. Clean make a UA-cam channel?
2012 fusion owner and I cannot thank you enough for this video!!!!
Thanks so much for this post; definitely informative and extremely helpful.
9:25 Wow I didn't know we got to see NASCAR racing in this video :O
:0
Mike you are one crazy dude.
Extremely impressed with that fusion man, I have a 2013 fusion s and I love it
Love the videos brotha!
Matt Damon you're so awesome
Raul Tapia lol I thought the same thing
I love this please do more xoxo
You’re videos answer the best questions.
Something that every car owner should know, espcially for those moments that they think will never happen to them! Great video!
That's a good piece of information to have.... not gonna lie
Don't ever go on your fucking phone while driving you and/or someone else will die
Smoothinator im still alive.....
Smoothinator you can't really say "will" because you watched him do it and nobody died. It's very likely, yes, but not definite
Gary Clark You're a smart ass aren't ya
I'm fine still...
if you can't multitask those two simple tasks then you're kinda dumb. that being said, most people shouldn't try it because they can't.
Nice going man, great videos on "what happens when?"
Thanks for this test, as a driver for my local Ford dealer I have always wondered how far it would go on 0 miles to empty. It's not good to run out of gas since the fuel pump is in the tank and it's lubricated by the gas.
Also, apparently many cars especially modern have a “fuel reserve”. Once you hit 0, you technically should be able to go at least 10 more miles or so. Depends on the car
What I'm on 79 all the time! I also live around Pittsburgh
This was more of an informative thing for me because now I know you live really close to me and I might see you vlogging :D
This helps me so much! I had a rental because my foes edge was being repaired and on the day I returned it I spent all my money to fill it up and when I picked up my car it was on 0 miles till empty! I have $10 to put in my car for today. But I don’t get paid till Thursday. So this helps me a lot! Thank you so much!!
Big deal.... women perform this same test everyday.
Very true.. I will delete the video immediately !
AutoVlog lol
As a woman I can confirm this as fact
😂😂😂😂😂😂💯🤷🏾♀️
That my friend is a brilliant post! They are not equal!
in new zealand these cars are called ford mondeo's I work at a Ford dealer so yea was quite interesting to see how far you can go thanks for the vid
👍🏻
I wanted to say the same thing.I komm from Germany and hier is also A Ford Mondeo and not a Ford Fusion
In a normal case ist not a good ideea to Drive on empty Gastank because all the dirt from the fuel will Land on the fuelfilter.
Something I always wanted to know for all the vehicles I ever owned. Thanks!
Thank u so much I was so worried I would get stuck it was definitely informative an gave me hope to know I could more than make it to a gas station on 0 miles... 🙏🏽
6:30 I almost thought you realy drove that fast!
Liam Baby lmaoo
Liam Baby ok?
6:29 his car sounds like a racecar
Everything Samsung pro. Newer cars have special insulation designs in the car to make them sound nicer.
But they don’t sound good outside.
Its sped up you nutcase.
Thanks! This information may come in handy one day.
The guy is likable and does the deeds without being a HOTSHOT !! Great Video TY !! Lol
A Pittsburgher UA-camr!! I hope you make it bigger.
Thanks!
No problem. I'm from Pittsburgh myself.
AutoVlog Really awesome to see that you're from Pittsburgh. I'm from Washington! Love your videos! Keep up the great work!
the "0 miles to empty" is the equivalent to gas light on dashboard for old cars. You still have some gas to drive to a gas station or at least get off the highway
Great simple video ! :) Thanks mate!
Thank you, this is what I'm just looking for. Whether if the miles to empty is accurate or not (less/more), I now have the idea on how many miles that I actually have from the fuel gauge.
you make interesting video. keep doing this interesting video thumbs up.
Thanks !
kamatayan77 ij
it's horrible for your fuel pump.
Will burn it up!
Not if it’s a lease.
Chuck E Cheese yes it will suck in air and burn it’s self out then you will need a new fuel pump
@@ashlyr4385 Yes they do. Fuel pumps are very sophisticated these days and will often shut off with reserve fuel in the tank to prevent damage.
Learned the hard way but in my defense I was a college student and didn't have a job 😬😅
I like this very much. This is really informative.
This was so funny! I laughed out loud. Keep making funny you tube videos...
