Hello folks, I just bought a 2003 Civic Coupe and I was wondering (since it didn't mention it in the manual): When the low fuel light comes on in the instrument panel, how much gas is left? 1 gallon? 2 gallons? Less? All intelligent replies welcome. Thx in advance, Alias ==== >> Stay informed about: Low Gas Warning

You'll never get an accurate number since the fuel gauge on most cars is anything but accurate. I used to own a 2001 Civic Coupe. If my memory is good, when the light was coming on, I was able to put 15 liters less than the max fuel capacity, which comes to something between 3 to 4 galons. It does come on early. I have a 2002 CR-V and it's the same thing.

Thanks, I READ IT FROM COVER TO COVER WHEN I BOUGHT THE DAMN CAR. I didn't see a capacity for it which is why am posting this message here. If you don't know or won't tell me, fine.

The fuel tank capacity is listed in the owners manual. The actual capacity is generally three or four gallons more than the fuel gauge will indicate. mike hunt Alias wrote: > > > Well, you know what your fuel tank capacity is.

When the light comes on on my 2002 civic sedan (13 gal tank) there is about 3 gallons still in the tank. "Alias" wrote in message > Thanks, I READ IT FROM COVER TO COVER WHEN I BOUGHT THE DAMN CAR.
