Gas light

[TheCrimsonStar]

Is it normal for it to come on when the level is this low? It didnt light up till it hit the redline. I assumed it would light up sooner. This is the first time I've seen the light come on since I got the car over a year ago. Also this is the lowest I've ever had the fuel. Lol. Other vehicles I've seen it come on when the needle hits the 1/8 tank mark.

Mine comes on about there I think. Newer cars give you more of a warning. 05 accord 60 miles till empty. Teg, get gas NOW

the needle is halfway past the red mark at "E" when my light comes on.

The light usually means there is approx 1 gallon left - assuming it is on a level surface.
Becareful accelerating hard when low on fuel, its very easy to starve the fuel pump.

My light comes on actually lower than yours. And I had about 2.1 gallons left in the tank

My light hasn't been coming on lately. I just guess once the needle gets to empty; although the best I've managed is roughly 33mpg with about 1.5 gal to go.

Bulb burnt out?

Mines comes on at the redline & my fillup at that point is 10 gallons...I still have 3 gallons left.

How much gas does it take to fill up when the light is on? I rarely let my tank get that low...fuel pump needs to stay wet.

Similar to what Psych1 said, mine will come on right about where yours is, then when I fill up, I take around 10-11 gallons. And since the tank holds 13.2, I still have 2-3 gallons left. I feel like the needle is calibrated to read lower than you actually are so you don't run out.

My light comes on in the middle of the E, as in way past the E line, usually fills up with 11 gallons

Thats beacuse the pickup isnt at the absolute bottom of the tank. Plus the pickup sucks through a filter sock and if thats not completely submerged then its sucking air.

*Sees light*.... "We good to drive another 50 miles at least"

light came on at 395 and the needle has been sitting there since 360-ish

you should use your trip meter.
