Curiosity question guys, what sort of range could someone expect in a SS driven in a normal manner after the low fuel light engages.

Not looking to run mine down that far but would be interesting to know roughly if it ever does happen one day.

Cheers all.

60ish km's. it gives you another warning after low fuel 'very low fuel' which usually is a good indictaion you really should be heading towards a servo. but you can get about 10 km's out of that i think.

I just tested this in my sv6 the other night.

Ran it down to low fuel, then very low fuel. Gauge was on empty. Engineering mode said 0L. Filled my car up but could only fit in 68.4L :p so there was still enough to get me around for future reference

Doesn't get you very far. Once first light comes on there isn't much time between that and the very low light

My "Low Fuel" comes on contantly with about 10lt left in the tank which gives me another 75-100km. Funny thing is when I fill up it takes 70-73lt but I have never had the "Very Low Fuel" displayed. I don't like walking so never pushed it to find out if it works or not................
