How Far Can You Drive When the Fuel Gauge Shows 0?

When the fuel gauge shows "0", you can usually drive about 20 kilometers further, but this depends on factors such as the driver's skill, road conditions, weather, and the car's fuel consumption. However, since each driver's skill and road conditions vary, the exact distance you can drive will also differ. Therefore, it's advisable to refuel when the fuel gauge shows one-quarter of the tank remaining. Below is additional information on estimating how far you can drive when the fuel gauge shows 0 kilometers: 1. First, know your vehicle's fuel tank capacity; 2. When the fuel gauge shows "0", fill up the tank and note how many liters of fuel you added; 3. Calculate the remaining fuel when the gauge shows "0", which is the total tank capacity minus the amount of fuel added; 4. Then, based on your usual fuel consumption, calculate the distance you can drive.

How far can you go when the fuel gauge shows 0? Having driven for years, I feel it can usually last around 20 to 50 kilometers. For example, once my old SUV showed 0 on the highway, but I managed to coast to a gas station, covering about 30 kilometers. But don’t push your luck—factors like vehicle weight, uphill driving, and strong winds can shorten that distance, and running on empty for too long can damage the fuel pump, leading to costly repairs. I recommend refueling as soon as the low-fuel light comes on and making it a habit to check fuel levels regularly for peace of mind. Different cars behave differently—small cars might only make it 10 km, while newer hybrids or electrics are more fuel-efficient. Safety first—don’t risk getting stranded just to avoid a quick stop.
