Early cars have no fuel light. Not sure when they got this aid, either M/Y97 or 99 I believe.

Don't think my MY97 STi3 has got one. Very nearly empty see no more than 46l to the brim so as its a 60l tank (I think) that leaves 3 gallons left.

I daren't push it any further incase the first click when brimming it isn't completely full!

MY99/00 cars should have one.

I get about 30-miles once the light's on. Still takes 55-litres to fill, so there's still a few miles in her yet.

Rally, didn't realise there were two different tank sizes for any given model year? Is yours a wagon ?

I managed to put 57.94 lites in my tank the other day ! Just leading up to the garage it was like kangaroo juice so I knew I was nearly in trouble but it held out till the pumps.

Very surprised that there's 2 tanks sizes though..

Default low fuel light

Hi all, I have a rx impreza 99 and have a low fuel light. I rely on it to tell me to "FILL UP". Comes on when i have about 55km left of fuel, ive only pushed it about 35-40kms then filled up! One of the worlds best inventions! What next?

oh by the way, thats when the fuel needle has just gone below the E (off scale)

Mine is a 4 door.

This is a quote from http://www.sidc.co.uk/faq.htm
"The 60 litre fuel tank (50 litres before 1996) gives a typical range of between 210 and 300 miles between fill-ups"

Is it more efficient driving off boost in high gear for max mpg,when looking for Optimax, but accelerator slightly more depressed or in very low boost and less accelerator movement?
Any ideas.
