O_O" as in the car stopped after the light came on???...n plus its a new car isnt it a better idea for u maintain the petrol above the half way mark??? :)

really? I thought it was 45litres. I've filled up many times with the petrol light on and it never exceeds 45. I know there is a little fuel left in the tank but i've run the car to almost 15klms after the light comes on.

[bungsai]

you got about 7 litres left when the fuel light comes on

[Tofu]

I've driven up to 50km once the fuel light comes on...
and when i go to fill up, i can only fill around 45L

[air23box]

you can get almost 50-80km after the light comes on.....depends on how you drive.....the tank is 50 liter.....but some how the design allow you fill about 45 liters...or about 47 at most cases of me....the 3-5 liters in the tank is normal....coz once it go lower then 4 liters it will be kind of can't pump fuel in the engine anywayz.....

[vippy84]

It is 50 litres...
the light comes on when it is about 10litres or so left in the tank,
but i would not risk it driving for long distance after when the light comes on... too risky.. and it is bad for your car too..
since your fuel tank might be dirty and it is not good to drive car using the last litres of fuel....

[Fuzz21]

It is quite common for the main fuel unit inside the tank to break off from its cradle. This causes the unit to sit lower in the fuel tank and you'll probably find that the fuel gauge will stay up longer and as get about half way it drops quicker.

My brother used to get 450ish before the fuel light comes on and about 35-40 litres to fill.

My EP3 gets 450 easily aswell and its modded.!

No, neither of us grandpa the cars either......coz if you wanna save fuel go buy a VTI... :)

[Dr.k20z1]

lol so true.. ^^

i was just saying.. how come i get less.. its not that a care :P otherwise i wouldve bought a VTI haha
