I cant find a light.. Does anything say that your in the reserve???


Thanks

 

When that little needle goes past empty...thats bad. Hehehehe.

I think I remember seeing a little round yellow/orange led come on near the gauge.

 

Yes, there is a little orange light that comes on when u have like 4 or so gallons left ( not sure of the amount)

 

hmm does it come on during the pre ignition setting ??
Like when u turn the key and the lights come on.. cause mine doesnt...

 

No...The yellow/orange fuel DOES NOT illuminate when you are in pre ignition. Your oil and temp. gauge will illuminate in red though.........Trust me when you get low enough the fuel light will come on...G......

 

thanks guys

 

yeah, there is a light, i just don't know where either. This was taken directly from the 93 owners manual sitting right next to me:


* Low Fuel Warning Light

This warning light in the fuel guage signals that the
fuel tank will soon be empty.

Get fuel as soon as possible.

 

Yeah, there is a light on the fuel gauge. When it goes on don't waste much time getting to the gas station. One time I pulled and i think I was on fumes

 

Don't ever rely on that light. . .
I know different models, but I think the system is the same, I drove my '84 around on empty to see when the fuel light comes on. I guess the bulb was bad because I ended up walking a couple of miles to get gas.

 

If I remember right from the manual, there's approx. 2.7 gallons left when the light comes on. You can still go for a little while after the light goes on because I had to let mine go for a while because of a movie time and I had to have gone at least 30 miles after the light went on at 13 mpg. But, I know I got lucky that night, still no running out of gas incidents for me yet (knock on wood).

 

Mine comes on when it's too late ... just barely too late. I've run out of gas twice (in good locations so no biggie) and both times the warning light decided to come on the first time after the car died initially and I tried to restart it (it restarts a couple times, but dies). I think mine is a little bit too accurate, and that's why I carry a spare gallon in the back.

 

DOOD! Gasket set? Call!!! You @ home???

i drive mine until the trip meter either hits 300 miles for the tank, or until the fuel warning light comes on and STAYS on (after it STAYS on, i try to get to a gas station within 20 miles). never ran out of gas before, and the most gas i've ever put in it is only about 18.5 gallons

 

Are you kidding me? You get between 16 and 17 miles per gallon? You must do a good deal of highway driving.

 

before my engine threw up, I could go between 250-270 with 1/4 of a tank left.

Thats highway with a little city. I use to get 20-23 mpg.

 

As a matter of fact I still have that same 1/4 of a tank of gas in the car from over a year ago.

 

when i was test driving another 3rd gen, b4 i got mine. I was having so much fun kicking it in and i was so amazed by the power, that i ran outta gas and barely made it back to the dealer. That was a 94 Base. Now i have a 94 touring ad i think they might have added a empty light, but i learned my lesson and make sure i always see FULL on my gas gauge.

 

Rix 7,

it's probably split 50/50 between highway/city miles.

actually, lately (last 10 tanks or so), i've had to fill up cause the light has been staying on (before i hit the 300-mile mark -- but i've been close -- 270-290 miles). so over the last 10 tanks, i've been averaging about 14-15 mpg per tank i remember the days when the car was stock & i used to get 17-19 mpg (per tank -- combined city/highway miles).

on a side note, my first personalized license plate (back in 93) for my 7 was "RIX 7"

 

i could be wrong here, but doesn't gas start to break down after about 30-60 days???? isn't that why they make that fuel stabilizer stuff???

my 7's not a daily driver, but i usually try to burn a whole tank of gas every 30-60 days.

 

u dont get it... he is saying he doesnt go below 1/4 tank... The gas would move around... i doubt its still there....

 

Yes, the engine dies on ya!

 

Yea it will tell you if ya get the special Kight Rider Kit car feature wotj voice responce from the dealership....

Hello, Want2Race we are low on fuel.....I need gas quick!!!!.....

Yes, I'm bored

Later,

 

Well I always get under 300 miles out of a tank. Usually around 250 and I'm pretty much on empty and have to fill up, unless it's all highway miles on a long trip, then I get over 300. Well I mustve gotten SUPER gas or something this time, because I just got back from a trip, and so far ive gotten 368 miles out of this tank, and I went about 8 miles before I remembered to reset it back to 0. That's a mix of highway driving, 30 minutes at least of stop and go orlando (disney area) traffic, and then driving around Daytona. Oh yeah, I still have about 5-6 gallons left. I cant wait to add up this milage.

 

You both don't get it.

I said my engine threw up. Threw up an apex seal. Died

I had filled up in Atlanta and drove to my parents house in Alabama for the weekend. It is 240 miles to their house. On my way home I stopped by my Uncle's house and 10 miles from there it died. Towed it back to his shop and it had 1/4 tank of gas left in it.

This was a year ago, and I'm saying the gas is still in there. I couldn't remember exactly how many miles I had been, but when thinking about it I can find out for sure by looking at my trip odometer, because it is just like it was a year ago.

I have yet to drain the Gas.

 

My light came on once, but it was way below empty. Most cars start to tell you that you are low at about 1/8th of a tank.

300 miles per tank is cake. Not sure if it's because I am at sea level. I have a pretty heavy foot, and I still get around 19-20 Miles per gallon.
