How many kilometers can a car still drive when the fuel warning light comes on?

When the fuel warning light comes on, the car can generally travel approximately 50 to 90 kilometers. The exact distance depends on the vehicle model, driving conditions, and driving habits. Here are some precautions regarding car refueling: 1. It is recommended to refuel in the early morning or evening to ensure the cleanliness and stable quality of the fuel. 2. Do not wait until the fuel warning light comes on to refuel, as this helps ensure the longevity of the fuel pump. 3. If the car is rarely driven, it is advisable to maintain the fuel level at a low level. 4. When refueling, ensure the engine is turned off, avoid using mobile phones, and do not re-enter the vehicle during the refueling process.
I find it a bit nerve-wracking every time the fuel gauge light comes on, but based on my experience, most regular sedans can still run about 40 to 80 kilometers. I remember last time driving my friend's Toyota Corolla, it managed to go 60 kilometers after the light came on before refueling. However, this data varies greatly depending on the car model design, remaining fuel tank capacity, and road conditions. In city traffic with increased fuel consumption, you might only get 40 kilometers; while maintaining a steady speed on the highway saves fuel, and with some luck, you could exceed 70 kilometers. Never risk testing the limit—I once almost got stranded in the suburbs. It's advisable to immediately turn on navigation to find the nearest gas station when the light comes on, avoid driving more than 30 kilometers, and turn off the air conditioning to reduce engine load.
