How many liters of fuel does one segment on a car's fuel gauge represent?
1 Answers
One segment on a car's fuel gauge represents approximately 5 liters of fuel, but this can vary depending on the vehicle's fuel tank size. There are two types of fuel gauges: analog and digital. The analog type indicates fuel levels through a pointer position, with 'E' (Empty) and 'F' (Full) marked on the gauge. When the fuel icon lights up, it indicates low fuel levels, prompting the need for refueling. The digital fuel gauge displays remaining fuel through illuminated segments—more segments indicate sufficient fuel, while 1-2 segments signal low fuel levels requiring immediate replenishment. Digital gauges also show estimated remaining mileage, but this is only a reference value calculated by the onboard computer based on the remaining fuel.
