Default fuel light gc8

hey guys my fuel light in my gc8 comes on really late lol, like when the needle is level with empty? My old 05 sti used to come on just under a quater left, and id be happy to drive it for atleast another 20 km when it came on. in my gc8 a little scared to drive it anymore than when it comes on as it looks real low?
are all the gc8's like that?

when you can't accelerate after hard corners, you need to fill up. Like a Boss.

I work 60kms south from where I live. Have made the drive from home to work on the empty light once.

Wait until the light comes on then go see how many litres it takes to fill up. I think GCs have a 60l tank same as GDs so you can work out how much is left in the tank. The biggest problem you'll have though is fuel surge when cornering.

My MY00 fuel light comes on when the needle is really low too, but i still have 13 litres left when it pops up. Thats easily another 100kms if desperate to squeeze it out.....
