Sorry for the imperial numbers hereThe focus has a 12 gallon tank I believe , and it usually registers completely empty at like 10 . 5 gallons . Typically , you have another gallon or so of gas left when you hit 0 on the computer . You just didn ' t put in enough fuel for the computer to recognize it . In general though , it ' s a bad idea to leave the tank that empty as it can put a lot of stress on the fuel pump . Also , if there ' s ever an emergency you don ' t want to worry about putting gas in the car <| sep |> I am quite happy with this start . <| sep |> Well there ' s $ 50 , 000 on the line , so they better . <| sep |> costco ruins their meat . check the label , it ' s all blade tenderized and thus less sanitary and IMO it ruins the texture of the beef .
