Gnahp Supercharged April 2, 2022 Share April 2, 2022 it's not me, it's my wife she did that to every single car she drives this morning the car app in my phone shows low fuel warning and my wife was out with the car I was caught in a dilemma should I trust her? a veteran driver with more than 20 years (half a million km) of driving experience or history will repeat itself? I don't want to ruin my weekends by carrying a jerry can to petrol station and filling up the car at the shoulder of the expressway I called, she is not aware of the low fuel warning at all she made a detour to the nearest petrol station and the car stalled right at the entrance of the station ↡ Advertisement 1 4 3 41 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's probably confident that you will come to her rescue every time. Can set your alarm to warn you earlier? Then just nice to reach petrol station every time? Yada-ing. Have a good weekend.

Kb27 Supersonic April 2, 2022 Share April 2, 2022 I had a couple of cases, where car owners told me to change battery bcuz the car wouldn't start. I had to check the fuel level first. It was totally empty and I told them so. Huh ? need petrol to start engine ? Of cuz, how do you think the car can start and move.. To help them, I had to drive to the petrol station, bring a can of petrol back, with a funnel, and start their engine. 2 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sosaria Turbocharged April 2, 2022 Share April 2, 2022 The fuel gauge is digital? Nowadays it is too subtle. I found the digital fuel "bar" gauge can be overlooked easily when transitioning to this type. Previously I drove a car with the usual "needle" or pointer gauge which was more intuitive. Nowadays i hardly notice the digital fuel gauge. Rather, my cue to refuel is to look at the calculated range remaining displayed on the panel. Once it goes below 50 km, for example, then I'll refuel at the next opportunity. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alg 5th Gear April 2, 2022 Share April 2, 2022 I have to make a trip to the station whenever the needle fall below the 1/2 mark. Because i don't dare to pump full tank when near empty. The amount to painful to watch. 1 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hosaybo 6th Gear April 2, 2022 Share April 2, 2022 Not good for the fuel pump .... This one spoilt, got to spend money. So bottom line, may be to pump whenever it is half tank and happen to pass by a station. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people really drive without looking on the instrument panel at the dashboard. Dont know if any warning light lighted up or needle reached low fuel level etc. 😅 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dp26 5th Gear April 2, 2022 Share April 2, 2022 Nvr happen before cos I don’t really like to wait till empty then pump. even my relatively new car the most I pumped was ~60l whereas my tank is 72l. Range shown was left only 20/30km but in actual fact can probably run a lot more with 12l in the tank. this car fuel warning a lot earlier. previous car my wife still dare to drive from AMK to Clementi for lunch and back when fuel signal lighted up already. came back home and told me to top up petrol. 🤷🏻 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
