[W126 Coupe] How much reserve? and other thoughts

[Eddie]

I've gone about 25 miles with the light on and have yet to run out of gas.

The car looks pretty bad without the lower mouldings, as the paint may be a
different shade depending on how faded your car is, plus the holes and
indentations for mounting the panels.

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,
