How Long Have You Driven On Your Gas Light? - NOS2Go4Me - 04-30-2004

Add 10L of driving to the gas light eh? Good to know!

So, my mileage calculations are WAY off, and I'm getting MUCH better mileage than originally anticipated. Exxxxcellent.

I haven't hit the gas light yet... where does it come on exactly? I was under 1/8th of a tank (as reported by the gauge) and it never came on today, but I threw 10 bucks in it at lunch to be sure.

Mine comes on when the needle is just above the line - at around 500 km hwy driving.

Yes but we are talking about a real city not Sudbury.

In winter 250km until the light comes on is a regular occurance. I've only gone over 500km/tamk once. For the days I work in Hamilton I can get three round trips in (450km) total, lots of stop and go.

I just filled up from fuel light today. Was on it for a bit too, probably 20 km or so? Filled up my tank, and it took 34L, and that was right up to the neck.

I usually do around 80km after the fuel light comes on if the gas price is too high until price drops a bit.

fuel light comes on at around 440-480km usually that is including uptown/404/DVP/downtown driving in both winter and summer (winter is closer to 440 and summer is closer to 480)

I know I can do 650+ km with 90%+ highway driving (not rush hours) with about 115-120km/h coz i did it many times before.

and btw, ppl told me that Manual tranny has way better gas mileage compared to automatic tranny.. dunno if that's true but i agree with it.

i usually do 550-600km city under normal driving (giving it beans once and a while)

and when i went to toronto i got 850ish km to a tank all hwy. I average 36.2 city and 45.4 hwy

but this has nothing to do with focus :P
