I wait until the fuel night is on and generally go another 40 miles. You want to have less than 10% remaining.

I have flex fuel. I usually watch the fuel remaining value via ecutek but thats not even good enough. It will show 0% remaining. If I fuel up there I usually still have 1.1 gallons remaining and can get around e79.

Keep a gas can in the trunk with the fuel you are seitching to.

When you get even lower than that the the new fuel gets sucked into the enfine pretty quickly after starting up the car.

You wont be doing any damage driving onvthe wrong fuel for short periods. Hell I had to drive over 100 miles on pump gas with an e85 tune when a laptop died. I ran rich but got home.
