How to calculate how much fuel you have left in your car?

(Patria) - If the yellow light on the dashboard comes on, indicating your car is on reserve, some drivers will panic, while others will skillfully "squeeze" the last drop of fuel from the tank, writes HAK Revija.

However, this is not recommended, as frequently driving on minimum can lead to damage to the fuel pump (it doesn't lubricate as it should), as well as the fuel filter, into which small impurities or sediment from the bottom of the tank can enter.

There are many measurements and research, but only you know how much your car consumes on average, which is the most important piece of information.

It is assumed that about five liters of fuel remain on reserve, but you will get the exact amount in the simplest way. When the reserve light comes on, quickly go to a gas station, spend more money, and fill the tank to the brim.

Subtract this amount from the fuel tank capacity in the factory specifications (e.g., 55 minus 49). You have obtained the amount of fuel remaining in the tank after the light comes on.

Also, look at the average consumption and compare it with the amount of fuel left in the tank.

With some vehicles, you will drive more than 70 kilometers on reserve, with others less than 40.

And it all depends on the driving style, whether you are driving in the city or on the highway, where more fuel is consumed, or on roads with an 80 km/h speed limit, where you will be most economical.
