How many kilometers can a Corolla run after the fuel light comes on?
2 Answers
The Corolla can run about 50 kilometers after the fuel light comes on. When the light is on, there are only 8 liters of fuel left in the tank, but the actual distance may vary depending on road conditions and other factors. It is recommended to refuel promptly after the light comes on, as continuing to drive may affect the fuel pump. The Corolla is a brand under Toyota, with body dimensions of 4630mm in length, 1775mm in width, and 1480mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. In terms of appearance, the Corolla features a slender front grille, sharp headlights, and a large front bumper design. The side profile showcases raised wheel arches and dual waistlines, giving it a sporty look. The rear design echoes the front, with polygonal taillights that exude a dynamic style, along with a notable spoiler design.
As a seasoned Corolla driver with years of experience, I remember that when the fuel light comes on, it means there's not much gas left, typically enough for 50 to 70 kilometers. The exact distance depends on driving habits—maintaining a steady speed on the highway can stretch it further, while stop-and-go city driving burns fuel faster. Once, I pushed it and drove 60 kilometers after the light came on before refueling. Although I didn’t stall, I could hear the fuel pump whining, which was quite worrying. I’d advise against following my example—when the light comes on, find a gas station as soon as possible to avoid getting stranded or damaging engine components. The Corolla’s average fuel consumption is around 6-8L/100km, with a tank capacity of roughly 50 liters. When the light comes on, there’s usually 5-7 liters left, which calculates to about that distance range. Regular maintenance can improve fuel efficiency and extend this buffer period.
