Achwang Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 How many gallons of gas are on reserve after the low fuel light comes on? Is it like most other cars with 3 gallons on reserve? Also, if the RANGE is 1 mile left, will the car stop after 1 mile? Or does it go on reserve after that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if the RANGE is 1 mile left, will the car stop after 1 mile? Or does it go on reserve after that? I can speak only from experience with my 02 ES, but it should be very similar. A full tank usually starts my Driving Range display at about 340 miles. When that gets down to 20 miles the low fuel light comes on. I fill up and have to put between 15.5 and 16 gallons in the tank. The tank is an 18.5 gallon tank so I deduce that my actual remaining fuel is about 2.5 or 3 gallons. Being conservative in my calculations I should get about 30-50 miles of driving left when the Driving Range display gets to 0. steviej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartkat Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 That sounds about the same. I've only run mine till the fuel light comes on one time. I figure it had approx 2.5 gallons left. The tank MPG guage is usually about 1 MPG low compared to my calculated fill up MPG so the range would probably also read around 20 - 30 MPG when fuel light comes on.
