And when the Klingon FUEL warning comes on you have to hightail it to the nearest servo, glad to say I've only been caught out once and it'll never happen again Steve, promise babe!!! Big trouble in little Newcastle lols

Ive never let my car go below 10ltrs, dunno if im pedantic but just feel much better and safer, plus all the crap on the bottom of the tank doesnt slush around as much
I get ~150km after my light comes on. If I fill up immediately after it lights up, I can only get 60L into the tank, meaning that there is around 18 litres still in there. Better to be warned early I guess.
As for the "crap in the bottom of the tank", I changed my fuel pump a few months ago, and for a 10 year old car, it looks like the tank was installed yesterday. Nothing in the bottom of the tank at all.
Also remember, the fuel pump has a filter on it, plus your fuel filter underneath the car, then a filter on each fuel injector.. that's a hell of a lot of filtering even if you did have a few dregs at the bottom of the tank.

I was on the way to work when the orange light came on. I decided to chance it and got 50 miles before filling up. It was a nerve-wracking experience, though.
In the LS400 I get an orange light before the read light. Is it the same in the Celsior?

My Soarer is like Jan's (orange below 10, red and Fuel Empty below 5) except for the minor detail that it is pessimistic by 4 litres. That is, when it says it has 5 litres left and flashes Fuel Empty, it has 9. Guess I should clean the sender some day but I do not really mind having a reserve reserve.
