How far can you drive when the fuel gauge light comes on?
1 Answers
When the car's fuel gauge light comes on, the vehicle can generally travel approximately 30-60 kilometers. 1. Hazards of driving with the fuel light on: Avoid driving with the fuel light on as much as possible, as prolonged driving in this state can harm the vehicle. 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. If you continue driving at this point, the fuel pump becomes even more exposed, exacerbating the overheating. Continuing to drive when the warning light is on (or even until the fuel is completely depleted) can cause significant damage to the car. 2. Specific driving distance: Some vehicle models have higher fuel consumption, such as SUVs, which may consume over 15 liters per 100 kilometers, resulting in a shorter driving range. On the other hand, certain Japanese cars are very fuel-efficient, possibly consuming only 5 liters per 100 kilometers, allowing for a longer driving range.
