When the fuel tank warning light comes on, different vehicle models can travel between 30km to 135km. Here is relevant information about the fuel tank warning light: Fuel-saving tips: 1. Maintain appropriate speed. For cars with engine displacements between 1.3L-1.8L, the most economical speed range is 45-65km/h, while for 2.0-3.0L engines it's 55-75km/h. 2. Reduce vehicle load. 3. Avoid using air conditioning. 4. Close windows to reduce wind resistance. 5. Choose good road conditions whenever possible, avoid rough roads, minimize bumps, and maintain steady speed.
I usually commute by car, and I start to panic as soon as the fuel warning light comes on. Once I worked overtime too late and encountered this situation, I had to drive 40 kilometers in the city before I could refuel. Now I've learned my lesson—when the warning light comes on, I find a gas station immediately after driving no more than 50 kilometers. This distance is highly related to the vehicle's weight. When I drive an SUV, it consumes fuel noticeably faster than a sedan. I recommend noting the reserve fuel capacity data in the owner's manual. If the warning light comes on while on the highway, it's best to exit at the nearest service area. Avoid using the air conditioning to save fuel and squeeze out a few extra kilometers.
