The vehicles of today are built to take you further distances than ever, with many of them able to achieve fuel efficiency levels not previously seen anywhere on the market. However, that doesn\u2019t mean that you won\u2019t find yourself in a bind\u00a0occasionally, seeing your fuel gauge reach lower levels than you\u2019d otherwise be comfortable with. We\u2019re sure that at some point you\u2019ve wondered, \u201cHow far can you drive your vehicle when the Low Fuel light comes on?\u201d The answer is far from concrete across the board, but our Carville\u2019s team has put together a handy guide to help you out should you encounter this light flashing!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When does the Low Fuel light usually start flashing in a vehicle?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

In most new and used models, the \u201cLow Fuel\u201d light signal is either designated by flashing text or a symbol of a gas pump. There are sensors in your tank that let your electronics know when you\u2019re running out of gas, and the light will start flashing when you\u2019re down to either a gallon or 1.5 gallons of fuel left. This can vary depending on the model, however, so it\u2019s best to consult your owner\u2019s manual for a more accurate reading.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since most current vehicles have greater fuel efficiency than their predecessors, the Low Fuel light isn\u2019t necessarily a death sentence for your drive. In fact, you can still drive anywhere between 30 and 50 miles (at the absolute furthest)\u00a0in order to\u00a0find the nearest gas station. Since Grand Junction is a heavily\u00a0populated\u00a0area, this shouldn\u2019t ever become that serious of an issue,\u00a0but in any case,\u00a0it’s\u00a0best to be informed before you head out.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
