How many kilometers can a Buick GL8 drive after the fuel light comes on?
2 Answers
Buick GL8 can drive about 80 kilometers after the fuel light comes on. It is recommended not to wait until the light comes on to refuel, as it may damage the vehicle's fuel pump components and reduce the fuel pump's lifespan in the long run. The fuel pump relies on gasoline for cooling, so it is advisable to refuel regularly to avoid overheating and burning out the pump due to lack of cooling. Here is some additional information: 1. In 2020, the Buick GL8 family launched three major series: the all-new Buick GL8 Avenir Avenir family, GL8 ES Landcruiser, and GL8 Landcruiser business class, providing users with more diverse choices. 2. As the epitome of Buick's design excellence, cutting-edge technology, and superior quality, the all-new GL8 Avenir family inherits Buick's heritage in MPV product development. It integrates General Motors' global resources and cutting-edge technology, achieving breakthroughs and innovations in design, safety, comfort, technology, and power, refreshing the intelligent and sensory experience with comprehensive self-evolution.
When I first started driving, I got particularly nervous when the fuel light came on in my Buick GL8. I remember that time on the highway, anxiously driving to a service station, covering about 60 kilometers before refueling. The manual says it can go 50 to 80 kilometers, but I feel this number isn’t accurate. In city traffic with congestion, fuel consumption can double, and it wouldn’t be surprising to have only 40 kilometers left. On a smooth highway, it might stretch to 70 kilometers. The key point is that not refueling promptly could damage the fuel pump, which is expensive and troublesome to repair. I advise everyone not to push their luck like I did—find a gas station as soon as the light comes on; safety first. Regularly check tire pressure and engine oil; these small details can help save fuel and avoid frequent fuel light warnings.
