Engr adeboye is the best person to give the best answer


Awon RCCG members on nairaland where are u at?
Daddy G O Adeboye have driven his car for long distance on numerous occasions without a single drop of fuel in it but the power of his faith alone. He said it, and it is a fact. Pastor Chris has also done it countless number of times as well. Just that he sometimes likes using water in place of petrol.

Let me tell you something you don't know, these men of God are no ordinary men, they operate on a higher level. The only reason they buy fuel is to provide jobs for the fuel attendants to enable them pay their tithes and move from glory to glory.

there is nothing like empty, your fuel is low and in reserve, depends on make some cars have 10ltrs as reserve, some just 4ltrs, when the guage is in red and fuel warning light blinks you re on reserve for most cars its 10 to 15ltrs.

a function of driving habits, tyre pressure, load on engine.

i am able to cover 100km with 10 ltrs of fuel on an mk3 jetta, i dont belive the altima has the highest fuel econ atleast not more than a corrolla or civic.

base findings on practical test not what was posted on some foreign site.

post millennium cars especially those made after 2007 dont have good fuel economy like their predecessors.

If you say, empty, I'd understand that to be no duel at all in the tank.

The pictorial on display is for reserve, or something? Well, back to your question.

For me, j think it all depends on the vehicle brands, engine capacity, and driver's driving pattern/behavior.

I drove a Highlander hybrid 2008 yesterday, from Isolo to Ajah (Northwest filing station), stuck I. traffic, and back to the mainland yesterday, with the tank showing RED(reserve?).

The psychological impacts that had in me was huge. It was raining heavily yesterday, and here I'm, stuck in gridlock.

My wonderful eyes, were intermittently focused on the fuel gauge, while driving. I hate such kind of feelings.

Before I got to Gbagada, I was hyper... on the hybrid system(making sure, I was constantly using the EV mode than the ICE).

Got the tank filled up, and was good to go.

So, in essence, never allow your fuel get down that level.

Fuel systems are at a risks of sucking in diets, and for a hybrid car, you stand a risk of a depleted HV battery pack.
