How many miles of gas is left after the light comes on?
Just as the title says anybody have an estimated ballpark figure or an exact number? I always get scared when the orange gas light comes on.

just FYI, you should never run until the gas light is on. doing so prematurely wears out your fuel pump.

I usually gas up after 10-20 miles after light goes on. Then when I fill up, I usually get just under 11 gallons. So there's probably a bit over 2 gallons.

I got a lot of miles with the Empty light on but I didn't really think about the fuel pumps .. I'll stop doing that lol!
I want to say usually around 3 gallons and getting avg 28 mpg or so ... a decent 75ish miles.

I tested this out yesterday. My gas light came on and I drove 30ish miles with no issues (with some uphill climbs too). So, two gallons sounds reasonable.

My BRZ manual says it comes on at 1.8 gals.
The last time I pumped up, the attendant put in 10.5 gals or so, and I had driven maybe 10 miles or so after the light came on. So I estimate it to be closer to 2.5 gals. But I'm in NJ, where the attendants tend to continue to pump after the first click - so maybe they shove in more that the published 13.2 capacity. I am sure there is extra room in the tank for emissions. |
