How Far Can a Car Go When the Last Fuel Bar is Flashing?

[OliviaFitz]

When the fuel gauge warning light comes on, most vehicles can generally run about 40 kilometers without issues. However, it's advisable not to take this risk unless absolutely necessary. Typically, front-wheel-drive models have approximately 7 liters remaining, while four-wheel-drive models have around 8.5 liters. It is not recommended to drive under these conditions for extended periods. Here's some additional information: Fuel Warning Light: When the fuel warning light illuminates, it indicates that the fuel level has dropped below the fuel pump. The exposed fuel pump begins to overheat due to the lack of fuel for cooling. Continuing to drive at this point exposes more of the fuel pump, worsening the overheating situation. Many drivers continue driving even after the warning light comes on (sometimes until the fuel runs out completely), which is incorrect practice.
