If you continuously run the tank to near empty, the pump will tend to have a shorter lifespan. I never let it get below a quarter of a tank. Pumps are cheap, but the labor costs are high (you have to drain and drop the tank, etc.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estil | 1,264 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 You know when I was little, back when odometers only went up to 99999.9, I honestly thought when the odometer gets up to all nines and tries to go to the next mile, the vehicle just stops running or falls apart or something because you used up all the miles! And what's up with these digital odometers? How are you supposed to roll them back? And as for it being illegal, in the famous words of Harrison Ford from Air Force One, "Only if you get caught" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDIRunner | 2,730 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 It took me a minute to get it. I was like, since when is 80k a milestone? But yeah, I see it now. However, to be honest, I'm more impressed that you got over 1,400 miles on a tank of gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
