+146 The reserve light in your car is something that can only be resolved by throwing money at it, amirite?

Reserve light? Is this a British ism? I'm used to this being called the empty light or the gas light.

Not sure, I'm American and this is just something my dad's always said

If you throw heavy change hard enough, you can break the light permanently. Problem solved!

was your dad a sailor and referring to the gas light? I have never heard a sailor say "reserve light"

Was you dad a pilot and is referring to the gas light? I've never heard it called that even in aviation.

Not a pilot, but my grandfather was a captain, so maybe it came from there?
