post gas light mileage.

Your fuel guage may not be calibrated as precisely as you think. When the light comes on you may have 2.4 gallons more or less. If there's a long distance to you favorite gas station, it's not worth the risk.

I had a 300zx I did this for 8 years with (never have run out of gas but I stretch a tank of gas for what it is worth) and never had any problems (160k miles)...same with two other nissan vehicles I own. I do not push the boxster as far as the 300zx but the light does come on almost always before I refill it with gas. I have heard all the stories of the fuel pump cooling issues...I guess it is just a matter of being lucky or knowing how much you can get away with.
