How many miles are left in the tank when yellow light on?
I have a 90 2015 model.........I'm alarmed how quick the last half of tank disappears....

How far can I go once yellow light comes on?

Cheers
Max

It varies on all cars, but it should be a minimum of 30 miles.
The reason for this is on a motorway there are generally 30 miles between services.

You may do it on one tank if you drive it at a steady pace. I would need to fill up as i can't see the point of driving at 65 when the car can do 85 nicely. What tyres are you running.

I think the light is supposed to come on when you have 9 litres (or 2 gallons in old money) left in the tank. So depending on what mpg you're getting that might give you a rough idea. 2007 (57) Defender 90 (Sold)
Looking for another to replace it.

The road less travelled.... is a muddy one!
