The farthest I have pushed it once the light came on was about 30 miles. I get to freaked out to go any further. worried I'll be calling Honda Care towing if I do. My gas gauge doesnt seem to be very accurate. always bouncing all over the place. Anybody notice this at all with their ep3?

when the light first comes on you have about 2 gallons of gas. So figure you can go from 40-50 if you had to.

i read somewhere that you still have 2 gallons left when the light goes on, so like 30-40 miles safely

Depends on your driving, but my gas light came on at lunch, and I just filled up on the way home and put in 10.3 gallons after driving less than a total of 3 miles with the light on. If I remember right the EP has a 13.2 gallon tank so that means that I had 2.9 gallons left. You can figure it from there.
