just go cruisin around your neighborhood with a gas can with some gas in it until you run out of gas in your car. if your light never comes on then its either a blown bulb or loose connection.

I'm pretty sure Eran talked to somene and figured out his gas light on his '97 CX hatch should work... I could be wrong, but I doubt it. It's such a small thing that I doubt it would save anyone money or lower the selling price of the vehicle at all (which it was sold as a cheaper model than some of the sedans and coupes in the US).

If the CX is supposed to have one, I'd imagine the DX is supposed to also.
Looks like the CX DOES NOT have a gas light. We just checked in Eran's stock cluster and the gas light is blacked out.

So, there is a chance the DX doesn't have one either. take a flashlight to it to see if it appears to be blacked out.

That's because you have an EX. It has nothing to do with the body style besides that US hatches only come in lower trims. I'm sure the EK9 has a working gas light, along with the SiRs and VTis.

well if you fill up at 1/4 a tank every time it will solve the problem of not worrying about running out of gas. also its not good to keep running the tank empty. pump picks up s**t laying on the floor of the tank and quickly clogs the fuel filter...

I always heard this more about vehicles that have an in-line fuel filter.

Anyway, for me at least... it's just about everything working. I never use my cruise control. But damn it pisses me off that the light in it still doesn't work and I keep forgetting to fix it.
