Tom Dunn Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I've had my 91 Legacy for almost a year now. Never knew it had a low fuel light, 'cuz I'm usually pretty diligent about not letting it get too low. However, this past weekend I noticed a little glowing yellow box next to the guage. THAT made me stop for gas, stations are kind of far apart around here! On some vehicles, I know that the low fuel light comes on at one level and then, as the tank runs lower yet, will begin to blink. Is that the case with the Subie or is it a "one and only warning" kind of deal? By the way, it cost me $41.30 to fill that sadly empty tank!

nipper Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 The low fuel light comes on then maybe you have 1.5-2 gallons left. The light doesnt blink, but the car will bauck and stall when it gets to true empty hehehehe nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickensheets Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 My fuel quantity indicator is inop on my 97 obw. I use 320 miles or the amber light to indicate fill time. With the light on, you have 2 gals remaining - at least in my car. Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jib Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Today I just filled up my 01 Legacy GT with 360 miles on the trip odo, when the light came on. It took 14.2 gallons and just over $40. BTW - Try to avoid that buck and stall thing. <grin> Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbrand Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Mine used to work, only after you ran the car a long time after empty. have not seen it light in over a year, but ususally dont let gas get that low and my wife normally drives that car. Guess I need to go test to make sure still works, and carry a gallon of gas just in case it doesn't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Dunn Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 It was 13.8 gallons I fit in the tank, the light had only been on for a very short while. Gallon left is a margin I'll try to skip in the future. Note:$2.99 per gal. I love this car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
