Today, I drive my AUNT Avanza untill no fuel.... (stop at the middle of the road)

But, I didn't see any low petrol warning light one when I drive ?

thanks

yes, avanza memang dont have

haha nothing to be surprise, kenari and kelisa don't come with warning light also. just beware of the fuel level next time

avanza dont have petrol gauge?

this is very bad!

how can toyota car dn't have warning lights for fuel??
and no reserve fuel as well??

cut cost? .... awsmnn

light bulb is expensive.. warning~

so nice...another flaw of toyota
no warning lights and not even have reserve fuel

not really a flaw, i dont even need it.. why always drive until totally kosong baru pump jek? left half bar cannot pump meh?

warning light no need...at least have reserve fuel...is it?

install urself....and put warning "Retard,retard....find petrol station and fill petrol ASAP"

and dont forget to install another reserve fuel tank and new digital fuel gauge..

warning light is quite important k. if fuel tank low with no light how to know it's telling the truth?

Oh well half the proton car's low fuel tank warning light is wrong anyway...just use your common sense and plan ahead...the needle pointing very southwards plan you next trip to the gas station

what is reserve fuel? i think this term ppl syok sendiri only..
my car was 70L, is a 2009 honda accord 2L.. then once i was rushing whole day with low fuel (yes, the needle is at the lowest it can be) then the car died with no fuel.. i ask mah friend tah pao 5L fuel then i straight go petrol station pump full tank and that was like 60+L, so where is the reserve tank u were talking about?
same case with avanza, tried thrice already coz my mom lazy to go pump
but i still get somewhere within the said spec fuel tank capacity, i still dont c reserve fuel there.. why not u try once and let us know?

important for noob driver, not so important for experienced driver..
if the needle show fuel tank low then go pump la regardless it is telling truth or not
if the needle got problem, so as the warning light la coz both are feeding information from the petrol float

im using proton saga 1gen..it give warning early and it mean im using the reserve fuel.....btw im keeping my fuel tank full anytime

i'm saying if ONE of them fails. can always check with the other.

who noob driver lazy to monitor fuel gauge.....only know drive only.....

the day ur gauge not working u wont be saying any of this

even my 40k saga BLM have reserve fuel...everyone tested it before
tank is 40L...meter is only shown 30L
everyone tried going another extra 40-50KM also no problem...if there's really no reserve fuel....already break down a long time already
even the saga BLM also have both reserve fuel and warning light...very important one
how come a world class brand toyota don't have this function...just weird

and what if the needle or meter fail???...u have to rely on the warning light already...it's an alternative when something fail
i've seen many car with faulty fuel meter or needle...or for me...it's an alternative

huh? i drive avanza and it have la... what is this topic for?

certain version have ???????...weird

wat? if the advertise tank is 40L then 40L is my main fuel la.. if got extra 10L which means 50L, then can call reserve fuel lor..
my fuel indicator light at different time, sometimes above lowest line, sometimes below
anyway, for a world class toyota, their instrument panel hardly fail.. i saw the most on old gen saga fail fuel gauge, but not in other car..
btw, if u r a concerned driver, that doesnt really matter got fuel indicator or not.. maybe useful for girls haha

are u driving 1.5L? mine is 1st batch 1.3L

when the needle deeps into the last line of the last bar. its time to topup. dont need to wait till the lights come up. jz in case there wasnt any petrol pumps in the near or caught in traffic jams.

u have a very good habit like my dad

That one not call reserved tank la. Just the warning line is set when there are 10L left, so you will know it.

Bottomline, it is better to have it than none.

safety in redundancy. same system even airlines use. but nvm i guess all the airliners in the world are also "girls". k. whatev.

hey, airplane got autopilot wor, wana install at ur car or not? pffft
oh ya, airplane also doesnt have air bag wor, take it off ur car la

aiplane also no spare tyre no side mirror you take off yours wor

i know my avanza can be push to 380-400km per tank
so no worries even without gauge...

will i hear, "the day ur odometer not working you wont be saying this"
?

why i take off? u r the one comparing ma

there is nothing u call "reserve fuel tank"... the fule indicator just show empty when your tank are not totally empty...

last week I just drove my car for > 40km after my "empty indicator" are flashing...

if not working...can detect early and replace it.....

my myvi hit 470 for full tank . . . yep, last bar petrol left. drove for like? 1/4 of a day? it could last for quite a while.

not reserved tank...just reserve fuel
meter only detect 30L...the other 10L is unseen and when the light goes on...mean will start to run on the reserve 10L

total agree with u commend. is RESERVE FUEL. meaning tat giving u time n certain distance to find a petrol station to pump up instead of stop beside the road.

i believe our car DOESN'T come with RESERVE TANK lo. kind of joke telling tat.

i have reserve tank in my car...dont belive it??i keep 1 bottle petrol in my boot.

does it matter? issit very hard to pump when the needle going to the last line? what is the benefit of pumping early vs pumping on last drop of fuel?

hey bro. u just mention 'keep 1 BOTTLE'. since when the BOTTLE become TANK??? then should i say 'i go 7-11 buy 1.5L TANK WATER?'

u r my man bro.

uoah...wrong put..not bottle but 10L fuel container...haha i wan mean only one "bottle".........bottle=fuel container

mayb is the attitude of ppl. cannot commend much on tis matter.

trying not to laugh here

i laugh at my mistake???it wrong....

my avanza can go up to 480-500 km depends on driving style...
im using second batch avanza 1.3 year 2006...
never concern about warning light, as when the needle touch the bottom line
i know, time for top-up the fuel again...

my bike has reserve tank for sure. it need to turn a nob to use the reserved petrol....

now you know some cars don't have warning light when petrol is empty. So learn to pump petrol when indicator is very low.

it is a toyota, just accept the fact.

u sure or not? i drive to melaka at 2.5k rpm around 80km/h also cant get that mileage

btw, who in tis thread state that we dont need fuel gauge??

WTF

NGV?

Seriously... how is that possible eh 480?
Mine is the very first batch 1.3, auto, still stock all the way
For me to reach 400 is already "driving like a *****"

Run until no fuel, only got two type of people.

1. Poor dude.
2. Poor dude.

it's true...
but it's depends on your load, your aircond usage
your mods to your car...
does your car standard?

Care to include all the mods you have done to the car to make the FC so good? Please share.

ahahahaha funny as ffff

my mod: 1.3 manual
K&N drop in air filter
Bosch Iridium Spark Plug
4-2-1 extractor with relocate catalyc converter
Customize Cool Air Intake
Zaptor Gold Voltage Stabilizor
Grounding Cable 9 points
TITAN adjustable suspension


the most important thing is RFI (right foot intelligence)

Ah...yours is manual, no wonder difference by so much.

Anyway, here is what is have for my 1.3 auto avanza:

1) K&N drop in filter - DONE
2) Borsch Iridium Spark Plug - not changing cause just changed spark plug
3) 4-2-1 extractor with relocate catlyc convertor
4) customized cool air intake?
5) zaptor gold voltage stabilizer - not getting
6) grounding cable - not getting
7) titan adjustable suspension - nothing to do with saving petrol but I did already changed to Gabriel suspension. Adjustable too expensive for me.

I think will do 3 and 4. How much and where do you recommend? BTW, the extractor should be different for AT, right?

the extractor - for A/T you should go for 4-1 extractor
for cool air intake - it's DIY, u need 2½ flexi pipe with 0.5cm superlon insulation
for adjustable - it's help bro, the less bouncy and more stable your car will make u to apply less brake

where i get it, all item i buy through avanza club under group purchase
