I ran out of gas today. It was at the bar above the "red" zone. Is this about right when it comes to the digital dashes? My 2 blazers had the old analog and i could drive em down to e without a issue. Yes,i know its not good for the pump lol.

We have been down to one bar and did not run out for 15 or so miles to the gas station. The digital gauges are not accurate though

Don't sweat it. Just don't let it get down to one bar and you golden. Treat 2 bars as it is one.

I think im gonna rip out this digital dash,and put in the analog cluster. did it on my old blazer. took about a hour worth of wiring etc. So much more reliable.
