Default When does your low fuel light come on.
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/146834/fuel_gauge.jpg"></center><p>I feel that mine comes on when the tank is pretty low. It normally never gets this low but I wanted to use all the gas that was in that tank before refueling. Anyway just wondering if this is a normal spot for the warning to come on.

When you have used 65 L. I used to think this was 15L left but I think it is moe like 12L left.

Default Same here. Mine comes on as soon as the needle gets to the 1st of the 3 marks next to E
If I fill up right when the light comes on I need to put in ~17 gal

I've always wondered but never wanted to try

My S4 does the same. The S6 warned me two lines to the right.

65 L = 17.2 US gal. The remaining 12 L is good for something like 50 miles in the city.

Default Mine took 17.25 gal from where it was in the picture to a full tank.
huh. And now that I think of it, when I fill up, my needle does not go all the way to the F line. It stops just before it. Maybe I need to adjust the gauge a bit.

Default mine will usually come on around top of the red... should be about 500km driven at that point
i'm usually looking for a station @ that point, seeing as I don't really wanna cook the fuel pump again.
