According to to specs for the 2012 M8, the Fuel Tank capacity is 68.5L. The lowest ( depending how you look at it..) I have gotten to is 63.8L and the "empty YELLOW light" was ON and the fuel pointer was lower than the "E" mark.
My question is, does the engine "suddenly" STOP when ALL the fuel is used up OR does a "warning chime/bell" goes off (like when the Driver's seat belt is not put on when the car is moving off ) like when there is less than 5L or whatever the preset level is......?
My experience with the Honda Odyssey is that's the "Yellow empty tank light comes on" and that's the only "warning" you get. Push your luck and the car stops dead wherever you are smile_shock.gif smile_blush.gif
Anyone knows or would like to comment on the M8 lowest fuel capacity and what happens before the engine stops dead due to lack of "food" !!!
