Gas Caution Light

I usually drive for a good 30-40 miles with the gas light on before i fill it up. But that's cuz i'm too broke for gas...lol

Gas Caution Light

How many miles are left in the tank once this has gone on?! I've got an auto 1999...............thanks!

Anywhere from 3-6 *gallons* in my car... You got the right idea by calling it a "caution" light instead of a "warning" light.

*Edited* I meant 3-6 gallons and not miles, so that would equate to a minimum of 90 miles from when the light initially starts to flicker on and off.

3-6 miles???? noo, u got more around 15-20+

Yeah, it's A LOT more than 3-6. There's the time when the light goes on when the gas in your tank is just sliding around and it goes on and off depending on whether you are braking or accelerating or when you're on a decline or incline. Once it turns on for good, it depends what kinda stop and go traffic you're in.

I drove a whole day through town with it on. Forgot my gas card so I just rolled with it. Bad idea cause if I ran empty, I would have been screwed.

12 or 13 gallon tank, I'm pretty sure it'd be AT LEAST 15 miles left with maybe a little more than half a gallon of gas. But that's just estimating. I always let the light go on before I pump. Just get it done so you don't end up on the side of the road walking.

I have heard it is 30, I have gone around 20 no bs. The sensor I think is in the back of the tank so yeah the light goes crazy sometimes.

yeah ive gotten about 30 miles with my 03 auto but its never good to run that low cuz all the dirty gas is down there

i try not to let my gas go past 1/4th tank...
i also think the light comes on when you got like 2 gallons left in the car.

figure it out, i got a 12 gallon tank in my rolla and when the light comes on, i filled it to the brim and it only put in 10 gallons and change

like a dummy I had to see how far I could go with mine. I did a test on I-65 here and keeped it at 65 I went 42 in city should be around 25-35 dont try it you will burn up your injectors if you dont watch out I burnt mine up when I did it.

i heard you end up with air in your fuel lines if you run all the way to empty and you would need to bleed it out

i thought it was 3 gallons left in the tank when the light turns on. that would translate into 60-80 miles for my 93. ive been stupid too since ive driven several days actually on empty when i didnt have the $. but 2-3 gallons seems to be about right when i fill up.

98-02 Corollas have 13.2 gallon tanks. If I fill up as soon as I see the light, it takes about 10 gallons...so at ~30mpg that's almost a hundred miles...would I risk it, though? No.

I do go 15+ miles with the light on..happens quite often..lol

On my 02 if I fill it up as soon as the light comes on, 10.5 gallons will go in. I've driven it with the light on for atleast 30 miles and filled it up with 12 gallons. I know the tank is 13.x, but it seems like that extra gallon has problems getting through the system.

in my P5 as soon as the light came on, i had 4 gallons left.

If I managed to put 12 gallons in, that would probably scare me..lol, I think the most I've had to fill is 11.2-5..

I've gone close to 30 with the gas light on, wouldn't reccomend it though

ive pumped 35 gallons at the pump once. that REALLY scared me!

dont leave your tank down to E or until the light comes on coz it'll start sucking up the dirt at the bottom of your tank. aside from this, u can get stranded in the middle of nowhere.

In my car you have about 2 gallons left. Thought I don't recommend getting this low. With a modified car you can expect the gauges to be a little off.
