How many kilometers can the Aoling CTS run when the fuel gauge light is on?

The Aoling CTS can run 30 to 100 kilometers when the fuel gauge light is on. Fuel Gauge: It mainly consists of a fuel level sensor and an indicator gauge. The system can continuously monitor the fuel capacity in the tank and estimate how many more kilometers the vehicle can run. Generally, when the fuel gauge light comes on, it serves as a reminder that the fuel level is low and it's time to refuel. In fact, when the fuel gauge light is on, there is still some fuel left in the tank, but it is very little. Fuel Gauge Light On: The vehicle can still run 30 to 100 kilometers. However, if encountering traffic jams or uphill roads, the vehicle may only run 20 to 60 kilometers. Japanese cars, known for their fuel efficiency, can run a bit farther. Actually, having a fuel tank that is either too empty or too full is not ideal. An overly empty tank can damage the fuel pump, while an overly full tank can be dangerous while driving. The optimal fuel level is around two-thirds of the tank capacity.
I've been driving the Aoling CTS for several years. When the fuel gauge light comes on, it's a reminder that you're running low on fuel. Under normal circumstances, you can still drive about 60-80 kilometers, but if you're carrying cargo or going uphill, it might only be around 40-50 kilometers left. This distance depends on whether your vehicle is new or an older model; newer cars with lower fuel consumption might last longer. The most annoying thing is that if you push it too hard after the light comes on, the engine can easily get damaged, and the fuel pump might overheat and fail, which can be expensive to repair. I recommend finding a gas station as soon as you see the light come on and not taking the risk. It's better to develop a habit of refueling when the tank is a quarter full—it saves you trouble and extends the life of your car.
Last time I borrowed my friend's Aoling CTS for a long-distance trip, I got a bit nervous when the fuel gauge light came on, but I tried to keep driving and found it could generally go another 50-70 kilometers on average. Fuel consumption is key; this light truck consumes about 15 liters per 100 kilometers with a full tank, and when the light comes on, there's roughly 10 liters left, so driving conservatively is manageable. Road conditions make a big difference—driving steadily on the highway can extend the range, while city traffic with frequent stops reduces it significantly. Actually, manufacturers design the low-fuel warning distance for safety, and running out of fuel completely is risky. Don’t push it too far—keeping an eye on the fuel gauge every few kilometers is more reassuring.
