Low Fuel Indicator

[ifraz]

Does anyone know how long I can drive my car with the low fuel indicator light on before I have to refill?

I had forgotten to fill up this morning, and my nearest petrol station is 10 miles away from where I work. I have already driven 10 miles since the light has been on, can I drive another 10 miles, or will it die on me??

The hand book should tell you how much fuel is left when the light comes on. Normally you have about 8 litres left, just under 2 gallons which at 25mpg will get you about 40 miles. 20 will be fine.

Thanks Ricky, I feel safe now and don't have to worry about getting strandered. :D

When in Wales in the middle of nowhere, I found out you can easily do 30-40 miles when the petrol light comes on, if you drive carefully. Thank goodness!!!
