How to Read a Car Fuel Gauge?
1 Answers
There are two types of car fuel gauges: analog and digital. The analog type indicates the amount of fuel through the position of a needle. The gauge is marked with two letters, E and F, where F stands for full and E for empty. When the fuel icon lights up, it means there is little fuel left, and you should refuel as soon as possible. The digital fuel gauge displays the remaining fuel through the number of illuminated bars. More bars indicate sufficient fuel, while 1 to 2 bars mean the fuel level is low and needs to be replenished promptly. To maximize interior space efficiency, fuel tanks are not designed in a regular rectangular shape but rather in various irregular forms. As a result, judging the fuel level based on liquid height is also inaccurate. Although it may be difficult to determine the exact remaining fuel from the gauge, experienced drivers can make reasonable estimates through long-term driving and familiarity with their vehicles.
