2007 STI Owners - Low Fuel Light Question

I searched and couldn't find anyone with the same issue.

When does your low fuel warning light come on?

Mine doesn't come on until it's basically on the last bar (empty). On my 06 it comes on halfway through the 1/4 mark.

Do I have a problem or is it normal? Does the 07 have a different tank or float for the gas gauge?

Yea, comes on and at max i take it an extra 25 to 30 miles

My 07 would come on at the last mark on the gauge. Not sure if normal or not. I think every car may be a bit different on this.

Mine comes on when its almost at the very bottom of the gauge almost close to empty, I have only seen it come on once.....
I would imagine it is possible for the light to come on earlier if you are driving on steep hills, going up and down hills shifts the gas in the tank and sometimes slightly changes the reading in the gas gauge

Mine comes on at that time too. But according to the gas pump and rated capacity of the tank, it comes out to be about 4 gallons remaining when the light comes on which is about the same for all Japanese cars.

Thanks for all the input guys. After reading all of your posts, it sounds pretty normal.

I'm so used to the 06 fuel light coming on earlier. I've also only seen once on my 07.

Better gearing and longer time for the gas light to come on FTW!!! :lol:

Yep, pretty normal. I've only seen it a couple of times since I do NOT like running low on fuel.

I've had an 04 and 07. My 04 light came on much earlier when comparing it to the 07. Like you said before.....the 07 is pretty much EMPTY, but the 04 light came on between the E line and 1/4 line. ;)
