How many kilometers can you drive when the fuel gauge light is on?
1 Answers
When the fuel gauge light is on, you can generally drive about 40 kilometers without any issues. However, it is generally not recommended to do so. Typically, front-wheel-drive vehicles have about 7 liters of fuel left, while four-wheel-drive vehicles have about 8.5 liters. Nevertheless, it is best to avoid such situations, as prolonged driving with low fuel can harm the vehicle. After the fuel gauge light comes on, try to minimize braking and maintain a steady speed. If there are no gas stations nearby, frequent braking will directly affect fuel consumption. Keeping a constant speed can help extend the driving range. Additionally, it is advisable to turn off high-power-consuming electrical appliances in the car, especially the air conditioning. Avoid using the air conditioning after the fuel gauge light warns you to prevent excessive fuel consumption.
