* Driving style: Aggressive acceleration and braking consume more fuel.
* Terrain: Driving uphill uses more fuel than driving on flat ground.
* Vehicle condition: A poorly tuned engine or other mechanical issues can affect fuel efficiency.
* Fuel remaining in the tank when the light comes on: The light is a warning, not a precise measurement. The amount of reserve fuel can vary slightly between vehicles.
Generally, most cars have between 1 to 2 gallons of fuel remaining in the tank once the low fuel light comes on. Given that a 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue likely has a fuel tank in the 15-20 gallon range, you might get anywhere from 20 to 40 miles, but it's strongly recommended not to push it. Running out of gas can damage your fuel pump.
It's best to refuel as soon as the low fuel light comes on to avoid potential problems.
