fuel indicator level vs. range km indicator
For my 2012 Honda civic which has a gas fuel indicator and a range km indicator:
When the gas bar indicator has 4 bars left the range indicator shows about 58 kilometers ( 36 miles ) left to drive.
So which one which one is more accurate?

That doesn’t answer my question. How many bars are there when the fuel level is max?

Found out that the distance indicator is not accurate. Go by the Low Fuel indicator which comes on when 1.9 US gal / 7.5 Liter left in the tank.

Re: fuel indicator level vs. range km indicator
that's the "reserve" - it's done so that people will stop for fuel before it is really empty
