[W126 Coupe] How much reserve? and other thoughts

[Chris Goldswain]

Hi guys,

I was just wondering as I was driving down the freeway the other day bathed 
in the orange glow from my low fuel light, "Just how far can I go before I 
run completely dry and coast to a stop?"

Actually, while I've got your attention, I've also been thinking about 
removing the lower door mouldings, because the driver's door moulding has a 
broken clip and it rattles whenever I close the door. I figure those body 
mouldings must weigh 40+ pounds as well. Has anyone removed theirs? How 
does it look? Am I being a Philistine for even suggesting it?

Yours truly,
