When you hit reserve, time to look for a station.
Kind of depends on where you are. When I'm staying relatively local where there's always a gas station somewhere, then I'll trip the reserve at 140 and start heading in for gas. When you're in the middle of Bumf#%$ Egypt Kentucky, and nothing but tobacco farms as far as the eye can see, mabye better to start looking when you roll over 100-110. I tripped the reserve in just such a case in just such a place in Kentucky as the sun was setting, and put another 28 or so miles on (with the sweat pouring out heavier by the foot!!!!) when I finally tumbled into a little town with ONE gas station (and not much more!) There was NO sloshing sound in my tank, NONE, NADA, ZIP!!! Yeah, that was a bit close! (something to keep in mind when crossing KY on the Pennyrile Pkwy, get gas before you get on, cause there ain't much inbetween!) I was a tad more conservative about it after that!
