low fuel warnining light?
 
hi
i have a my94 wrx wagon and i was hoping if someone could tell me if they have a fuel light that comes on? iv'e never dared to let it go much under the last quater of the tank in fear of it just running out.

thanks for any replys

ive got an my93wrx, and it doesnt have a fuel light....either that, or it has never come on, or the bulb is kn@ckerd..

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!

Not sure if MY2000 has one?
Never go to the the limit,once the dial is really low.

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.

UK MY00 is supposed to have 9 litres left when light comes on... and mine does! Splendid. :)

I have a 95 WRX, ones with 50L tank, I once put 47 litres into it !! That was a close call I think, bloody Shell - why you never any Optimax when I really need it, managed to make it to the next Shell garage.
Edited to add, and does not have a low fuel light

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..

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? :confused:

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

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.
