Please dont think im stupid asking this question BUT:

Im not sure if its couse i havent taken the petrol level down to absolute minimum yet (only gone half way through the white) but is there a petrol warning light on the scoobys? mines a MY02

I wanted to know because i dont want to run out of petrol thinking i got enough couse the light didnt come on and there actually aint one....LOL

So if you lot could let me know asap that would be great.

Thanks a bunch!

Sure it will have. My 53 plate definately has.
Can you not see where the light would be just below the fuel gauge?

Na dash is pretty dark i will have to put a torch on there to have a look...... wonder why the light didnt come on when i was half way through the white..... when does it come on on yours??

Mine comes on just above the red. Manual says its when there's 9 litres left

In terms of mileage I actually know someone who decided to see how far he could get before he ran out of petrol............turns out it was 36 miles driving under normal conditions.

So that's roughly 35 miles once the petrol light comes on. Always handy to know these things.

sounds about right

i've got a classic scooby and the light comes on just above the red, i've also read somewhere that there's about 30ish miles left with normal driving

graeme.

Sometimes I've had 15 miles after the light came on, others 6 miles. Car just started spluttering as I got onto the petrol station forecourt - lucky or what.

Not that reliable so don't take the chance.

Mine went in to the white of the gauge (dont have a red) and it sill didnt come on, wonder if the bulb has gone or sensor not working..... ran diagnostics on my car and dont seem like sensor if pooped......

Wonder if my light works...

I have an 01 WRX the light is at the bottom left of the lowest white mark.

You seem to watch the gauge so closely that the light is redundant anyway

I have an MY02 WRX. The fuel light is circular and glows orange at low levels. Mine comes on when the needle gets in the lowest white bar (you are correct there is no red.). I have then done 25 miles before re-fuelling. In theory 2 gallons = 40-50 mile range.

I suggest you read up about fuel surge if intending to run your car on very low fuel regularly

Na dont runit low just wondering about the light...... been trying to work out my MPG over the past few weeks...... up to now i done 245miles on 38liters not bad me thinks.... but was just wondering about light, couse on my old fezzy the munite it touched the white the light came on..... just found it weird that this one was half way through the white and no light

hades

My 02 WRX definitely has a light, but they're all different so until you know your car don't rely on it.

Last night I filled up after over 20 miles of driving with the light on, it still had over 7 Litres left in it. I once did something like 60 miles with the light on (2 consecutive services closed, don't ask!), albeit driving gently, it was just showing signs of spluttering when I made it to the petrol station. I got 59 point something litres in it that time, so it was pretty empty!

Cool was just wondering now i know it has im happy.....

Hay i dont suppose that you (Hades and speedking) would be interested in buying a private plate..... got one on mine that would look a treat on your cars....... it came with the scooby when i bought it and want to put my old one on it.....
