How Far Can You Drive When the Car's Fuel Gauge Shows 0 km?
1 Answers
When a car's fuel gauge shows 0 km, for a typical family car, it can usually continue to drive for another 20-30 kilometers without any issues. However, the exact distance depends on the vehicle model and the driver's habits. Below are some details about driving when the fuel gauge shows 0 km: 1. Actual remaining fuel when the gauge shows 0 km: Generally, when the fuel warning light comes on, a standard family car still has about 5 liters of fuel left. The exact remaining fuel can be found in the vehicle's user manual. For example, a Passat, being a mid-size car, has about 9 liters of fuel left when the warning light comes on—larger fuel tanks naturally hold more remaining fuel. 2. Precautions when driving with the fuel gauge at 0 km: Factors such as the driver's skill, road conditions, and weather can affect fuel consumption. If the fuel warning light comes on while driving on a highway, it's advisable to maintain a steady speed in the right lane and turn off the air conditioning to maximize fuel efficiency.
