How far can you drive when the fuel level is low to the reserve level?

When the fuel level is low to the reserve level, you can drive approximately 50 kilometers, but the exact distance depends on your usual fuel consumption. The dashboard indicates that the low fuel reserve level means there is about 10% of the tank capacity left, which varies by vehicle model, typically ranging from 6 to 14 liters of fuel. Smaller car models generally have smaller fuel tanks, so the reserve fuel quantity is also less. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption in the engine. Engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary component of the lubricant, determining its fundamental properties.
A veteran driver with over a decade of experience tells you, never push your luck when the fuel light comes on! Based on my experience, a typical family car’s fuel tank usually has 5 to 8 liters left when the light turns on. With an average fuel consumption of 8 liters per 100 km, you can drive at most 60-100 km. But the actual distance depends entirely on road conditions: driving steadily on the highway might get you an extra 30-40 km, while city traffic may not even let you reach 40 km. Remember to turn off the AC and avoid sudden acceleration when the light comes on—the key is to find a gas station immediately. Once, I gambled on driving another 15 km, only for the fuel pump to suck in debris and leave me stranded. The towing fee cost me half a year’s worth of fuel.
