Putting this into perspective, my Honda Civic has a 50L[0] gas tank.
0- when it reports that there's 0km left in the tank, I can only fill it up by 40L, so is it really a 50L tank? Hard to say.
- jamiek88 3y agoTypically there’s a reserve of 10-15% of the tank capacity ‘hidden’ from the time to empty indicator. 10 liters seems on the high end though.
- taneq 3y agoI suspect smaller tanks get relatively larger reserves, I had an old MR2 with a 40L tank and its fuel light came on after 30L too.
- SECProto 3y agocounterpoint, my yaris has a 42L tank. The light comes on around 36L to 37L in. I know if pretty well so I've pushed it to 38.5L (another ~30km past the light) but never risked going any further.
- taneq 3y agoTo be fair, my MR2 was an '87 model so maybe it's changed since then. I wonder how old the Civic was?
