The fuel tank symbol appearing on the dashboard indicates that the fuel tank is about to run out of gas. Here are specific details about the fuel gauge warning light: 1. Mileage: There is no unified standard for how far you can drive after the fuel warning light comes on, as different vehicle models have different ranges. The general theoretical range is 40-50 kilometers. 2. Function: The fuel gauge light is one of the essential components in a car, mainly used to monitor the remaining amount of gasoline in the fuel tank. 3. Consequences: Running a car until it's out of fuel can cause damage to the vehicle, potentially harming the fuel pump. Generally, the fuel pump starts to expose above the fuel level when the fuel gauge light warns, because the fuel pump cools itself while working, and this cooling relies on the fuel in the tank. Therefore, when the fuel level in the tank continuously drops to a certain level, it can damage the fuel pump and reduce its service life.

What is the difference in fuel consumption between motorcycles and cars

Motorcycle tire pressure directly affects fuel consumption because tires contact the ground. If the pressure is too low, the contact area increases, leading to greater resistance and consequently higher fuel consumption. Many people believe they can judge whether a motorcycle's tires have sufficient air, but due to the thickness of the tire walls, it's not very obvious visually, which increases tire friction and also raises fuel consumption. Whether a motorcycle is fuel-efficient is also related to riding speed. Some think riding slowly saves fuel, but this is incorrect. Prolonged motorcycle operation causes the engine temperature to rise excessively, resulting in greater power loss and correspondingly increased fuel consumption.
