does a vert have a low fuel light?

I'm too lazy to go outside right now and put my key in the on position to see for myself. But I literally coasted into the gas station today because I ran out of gas expecting my low fuel light to come on first. My 86 fc had one, does the 90 vert not?

All FCs have a low fuel light in the clock/idiot light panel

I ran out of gas one night waiting for the light to come on, it never did. the light will turn on when I turn the key a few clicks, but won't when low on fuel in my vert.

While on the subject, does anyone know how much fuel is supposed to be left in the tank when the car is stationary and the fuel light comes on. My old 124 Fiat sports coupe would only have 1/2 a gallon at that point!!
Thanks

The manual states that when the light comes on you have 2.5 gallons left in the tank but i've gotten the needle almost touching the E line and still no light? The warning light works when you turn the key on though so I don't know whats going on?

im with you there mazdafaacka,
the light doesnt work for me when it gets low.
but also my gas guage is fucked up.
When i fill it up it goes past the F line and to where the little gas station symbol is.
It stays there for about 100 miles and then it all of a sudden drops to the F line, and everytime i hit boost after that it signifigantly drops.
idk wtf is up.
Im getting around 170miles on a tank.
