Hailing from Dayton, Ohio.... I'm with you. Yesterday I left early and took "the long way home"! (20 mins became 45)
By the way - I figured out how to test the "reserve tank" light.
Get to just under a half tank and then take a HARD right turn HARD.
At that fraction of a second before the car slides, the gas sloshes left and the needle goes to empty!!! (Apparently the gauge is on the right side of the tank.)
Hmmmm? I'm gonna leave right now and see what happens on a left turn!!!
(Officer, it was purely diagnostic.)
