Islamabad: (RightNow) When driving, if the fuel level drops, the dashboard’s fuel light illuminates. This light warns the driver that the car is running low on fuel.

Experts state that when the fuel light is on, cars can still travel further. Small cars typically cover 20 to 30 miles, while larger cars can go up to 50 miles.

Recent research indicates that a car’s performance with the fuel light on depends on various factors, such as model, fuel mileage, and driving habits.

This information is crucial when there is no nearby fuel station. Cold weather and rough roads can increase fuel consumption, potentially limiting the car’s travel distance.

It is important to note that not refueling immediately when the fuel light is on can damage the engine, although a few miles of travel is not harmful.
