Petrol Light

[Cathal]

i did a quick search there and could;nt find what i was looking for, just wondering (and i know its probaly different for all cars) how many miles on average you can get when the petrol light comes on or how many ltrs are left

and one other thing, when i press the snow button SNOW lights up on the dash, but wheni press the traction conrtol button nothing happens any ideas??

thanks

Hi I get 350-380 miles on a full tank (ubran). I also have a IS200 sport. Not sure about the traction light not coming on when you take the traction off. Might just be a bulb.

Maybe your car doesnt want to turn the traction control off.......it probably needs a big hug and a kiss and it might do it??..............

Alternatively might be either the switch of the bulb............do you notice if it still kicks in after you have pushed the button??

And as for petrol i think about 350-380 is roughly what i get for doing combined as i do a lot of dual carriage way but will do some town driving with that too.....must say that i am quite heavy footed sometimes too as i do

like it pulling away quite well!!! B)

Whats that work out as an average MPG??? Ive been trying to work this out as I know what i get on my Yamaha R6 but would like to compare it to the car!

I always thought it was a bad thing 2 drive when it`s in the red

Dont u get all the crap that settles in the bottom of the tank

as the car gets older, more crap in the tank

however the fuels are treated alittle more, so dont know if the old saying still goes

the fuel gets taken from the bottom of the tank anyway so it makes no difference at all.

I always thought the fuel pipe sat alittle above the bottom of the fuel tank. Ie on the side of the wall.

I can get about 40 - 50 miles with the light on, but that takes the needle of the bottom and half through the 'E'

I get around 270-320 miles per tank on urban driving, up to 400 extra-urban. Mine's an auto and if I had to describe my driving style I'd say 'relaxed'!

Bulb is most likely culprit with the TRC button. Does the light illuminate when you turn the ignition on?

dont tink it illumiates, what is the other icon i see when i turn ignition on, its like the car with 3 dashes each side of the indicators anyone know what this is,

think i got 350miles on full tank motorway and town,

I went up to the town centre there its a bit away about 5 mins drive, as soon as i left the light came on, i was only driving for about 20min in traffic and i pulled in and put in 4.5ltrs €5 (all i had in my pocket ha) and this did'nt turn the light off, so stuck in traffic cost me 4.5 ltrs

she seems thirsty
