Depends on how full the tank was when the counter was reset. When the gauge says half, it means there's under 40% left in it
I guess when the low fuel light comes on, you still got around 10 litres in the tank?
8-12 litres usually. All depends how steep the hill you're on is when it lights up (as pointing uphill causes severe under-reading and can cause the light to come on at well over 20 litres)
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang
