How Many Miles Do You Get Once The Petrol Warning Light Is On?

Hello,

i have a fairly new aygo, got it this september, got the aygo blue and love it! i have recently started using it for commuting and wondered if anyone had really tested how many miles you get out of the car once the petrol warning beep is on?

thanks everyone

Never driven past a petrol station if its flashing, but i think from other posts on here its between 30 and 50 miles depending on who you speak to.......i wouldnt risk it though!

Always fill up mine before i'm down to 2 bars. Don't want to chance running out usually about £20, where as the other car for the same mileage is around £50

like big boz said it should be around 30 miles, most cars do that amount on the last bar. I personally tho always fill up when it starts flashing, if not before

Last time I went down to 1 bar I had 6 litres of fuel left which if I wanted to risk it to the limit in perfect conditions could get me 60 miles, but personally I wouldn't got more than 30 miles on one bar unless I've got a 5ltr gerry can in the boot

Filled up my Aygo a few miles after getting the warning beep. Filled up to top with 32 litres, then got home and checked total capacity which is stated as 35 litres. So that leaves a maximum of 3 litres after getting the warning, which at my current average of 53mpg would give up to 35 miles to find a petrol station.

i've ran out 3 times now, got pretty much dead on 30miles each time

i've done 40miles on a few times.

The longest I have risked it is 29.4 miles, I once was told it could last for thirty miles but it’s an old Aygo (2006) and when we got it it hadn’t been looked after properly so I’d be fearful of doing much more than that
