Since i never wanted to actually try it and see how long it would take my car to run outta gas..

I wondered...Once your Gas light comes on, how many more Km/Miles can you get on your car before it totally dies on you..

Sorry if this has been posted before, just curious.

I enjoy how mx-3's dont even have a fuel light really its that little dot that comes on right? Mines only come on once in my entirity of driving my car just a stab in the dark here but I think i had bout around 7-10 litres left in my tank so thats about 70-110km

I've driven a gentle 65+ highway miles after the fuel light first came on and still not run outta gas in my 95 4cyl 1.6L. Am guessing that at that point no more than 1-2 liters of fuel was still in the tank, based on how many it took to fill it back up fwiw.

I have never ran out of gas yet. The light turhs on frequently for me lol. I think it means you have around 1 gallon which is like around 25 miles or less. I think ive gone 32 miles with red light than filled with 10 gallos and it was at full. I guess why dont any of you get gas gallon and see how long she lasts? there may be a danger in picking up debree from the bottom of the tank if u do this tho.

I tested this out on my 1.6L DOHC last year...

10L Gas can on the passenger seat...Trip set when the light came on and stayed on, on flat road...

Sputtered out, but restarted, 50KM later city(60kph-90kph) and highway(140kph), either way it was 5am and i was tearing the shi0t out it....so think worst possible mileage...
