How many kilometers can the new Jetta drive without fuel?
2 Answers
The new Jetta can still drive about 50 kilometers when the fuel warning light comes on, but this is bad for the fuel pump, so it's best to refuel. Remaining fuel when the fuel light comes on: Generally, when the fuel gauge indicator lights up, ordinary family cars have about 5 liters of fuel left. The exact remaining fuel can be found in the vehicle's user manual. Emergency measures when the fuel light comes on: The driver's skill level, road conditions, and weather all affect fuel consumption. If the fuel gauge light comes on while driving on the highway, try to drive at a constant speed on the right side and turn off the air conditioning to maximize fuel savings.
Having driven for nearly twenty years, my experience tells me that for family cars like the new Jetta, you should refuel as soon as the fuel gauge light comes on. When the fuel light turns on, there’s roughly about 7 liters of fuel left, but the actual range can vary significantly depending on road conditions. In stop-and-go city traffic, you might only make it 50-60 kilometers at most, while on the highway at a steady speed, you could stretch it to 70-80 kilometers. But don’t push it to the limit—I once forgot to refuel and ended up stranded on the ring road, burning out the fuel pump, which cost me nearly two thousand to fix. Now, I’ve made it a habit to refuel when the tank is down to a quarter, which saves hassle and protects the fuel pump.
