You flip to reserve with 8/10ths of a gallon left. Most Marauders get about 41 MPG, so 41*.8 = 32.8 miles before you start pushing. Check your MPG though, and compute it yourself.

my marauder gets upwards of 50 mpg..so it is really dependent on your own gas mileage

i have a 2000, i get about 150 miles on a full tank and reserve and its a little more than 3 gallons in the tank, but before i got the tune up in may i was getting 100 miles without the reserve so that makes a difference too
