Only a couple. Don't rely on that light indicating anything in particular, it is only an estimate.
When the fuel light comes on in a Ford Escort, there are approximately 2-3 gallons of fuel left in the tank. It is recommended to refuel soon after the light comes on to avoid running out of gas.
Around 3 gallons.
Approx 2 gallons.
You can go as far as your legs will carry you. I do like the legs answer, but thought this may help. First, you need to know a couple things about your vehicle. How far a single gallon of gas will take you and how many gallons you have left in your tank when the fuel light comes on. As soon as you can the next time the fuel light comes on, take out a loan and fill your tank. Note how many gallons of gas it took to fill it. Subtract that number of gallons from the total gallons your tank holds. That number will be how many gallons you have remaining when your fuel light comes on. If you know how many miles your truck will go on a gallon of gas, multiply your mileage by the number of gallons you have remaining when the fuel light comes on to get an idea how far you can continue before the engine dies of thirst. Example: Car "A" gets 30mpg. Fuel light comes on when I have 4 gallons of gas remaining in tank. 30mpg x 4 gallons =120 miles.
Usually around 2-3 gallons
approx, 2 gallons. enough to get to the nearest station.
About 2 gallons.
Around 2-4 gallons.
Probably one to two gallons.
The RX8 has a 14 Gallon (US) gasoline tank, the tank has a 2 gallon reserve when the gas light comes on, it normally takes about 12 gallons to fill up if the gas light comes on.
ussually when your gas light comes on your getting down to your last gallon of fuel
At highway speeds (75mph) i can drive my 04 jetta 1.8T about 40 miles after the low fuel light comes on before I risk running out of fuel (this brings me completely below the red line). I believe the light comes on when there is less than 2 gallons +/- left. Best bet is to fill your car up right when the light comes on and see how many gallons it takes to fill. Compare that to your tanks capacity (14.5 gallons) and you should be able to calculate many gallons left when the light comes on, then times that by your car cars average mph
