Smile Gas gauge squares

I recently bought a 2009 EX civic in 2010. My fuel light comes on with 3 squares left on my gauge. I was wondering if anyone has driven there civic with no squares and about what was the range they made it before fueling again? Thanks for the help...

Re: Gas gauge squares

I live in earthquake country (L.A.) and never let my fuel gauge get lower than half way so I wouldn't know but I'm interested in what kind of responses you get.

Mine comes on after 2 segments remaining have been on a while, I have ran 30+ miles with 0 segments left. Never fill up anymore, can't say what was left.

Re: Gas gauge squares

My '08 Civic EX manual says you have about a gallon and a half when the light comes on.

Re: Gas gauge squares

Bringing back this older thread....

(I was curious) I have driven down to 1 square for a few miles (several times) and then refilled only putting in a max of about 10-11 gallons...?? If the capacity is 13.2 gallons, then my gauge must be off

I am going to test it again by driving on low fuel and get a fillup... (I know this isn't good on the fuel pump to drive on low fuel because of heat)
