How far can a Civic go after the fuel gauge light comes on?
1 Answers
When the fuel gauge light of a Civic comes on, it can generally travel approximately 40-50 kilometers, depending on road conditions. In congested traffic, it may only go about 20 kilometers before running out of fuel. Driving tips after the fuel gauge light comes on: Control your speed appropriately. On highways, pay attention to the minimum speed limit signs and avoid driving below the minimum speed to prevent danger. Reduce vehicle load, as heavier loads consume more fuel. If traveling with another vehicle, consider transferring large luggage and passengers to the other car. Avoid using high-power electrical devices such as air conditioning and navigation systems, as they increase engine load and further impact fuel consumption. Close all windows, as wind resistance at high speeds is significant. The dangers of not refueling after the fuel gauge light comes on: It can affect the fuel pump's lifespan. When the fuel level drops too low, the pump may draw in air, which doesn't lubricate or cool as effectively as fuel. Excessive air intake can damage the pump.
