How many kilometers can a small segment of the Yaris fuel gauge drive?
2 Answers
It can still drive about 80 kilometers. Here is an introduction about the fuel gauge: 1. Introduction to the fuel gauge: The fuel gauge is used to indicate the amount of fuel remaining in the car's fuel tank. It can be a pointer or a digital display. The fuel gauge consists of a fuel level indicator with a voltage regulator and a fuel level sensor. 2. Notes on using the fuel gauge: (1) Do not wait until the warning light comes on to refuel: Because the fuel pump is located in the fuel tank and relies on fuel for cooling and lubrication, too little fuel will not be conducive to the normal operation of the fuel pump and will reduce its service life. (2) It is not recommended to fill the tank when refueling: Because gasoline expands when heated and evaporates into gasoline vapor in the high temperatures of summer, space is needed to accommodate this.
I've been driving the Yaris for several years, and each small segment on the fuel gauge roughly corresponds to about 5 liters of fuel. The actual distance you can drive depends entirely on your driving habits and road conditions. On the highway, if you maintain a steady speed with fuel consumption as low as 5 liters per 100 kilometers, one small segment can take you 80 to 100 kilometers. But if you're stuck in city traffic with constant stop-and-go, fuel consumption can jump to 8 liters, and one small segment might only get you 50 kilometers. I think it's best to calculate based on average conditions—assuming 6 liters per 100 kilometers, one small segment should give you around 60 kilometers. I recommend avoiding sudden acceleration and hard braking in daily driving, as it not only saves fuel but also enhances safety. Also, keep in mind that the fuel gauge isn't perfectly accurate. When it drops to one or two segments, go refuel to avoid stalling midway and causing delays. Each time you refuel, note the mileage and fuel amount—over time, you'll be able to estimate your actual range more accurately.
