My first car, a used Yaris, and I keep running on empty. Any tips?
I bought my first car three months ago, a used Yaris, and I am a little embarrassed to admit that I keep letting the tank go almost empty. I am a student, so I do not drive much, and I tend to forget about fuel until the light comes on. Twice already I had to rush to a station with my heart pounding, hoping I would make it. My dad laughed and told me to fill up every Sunday, like a habit. It makes sense, but my week is never the same. Then a classmate told me about Fuel Delivery Dubai, and said her brother uses it so he never has to think about it. It sounded fancy, and I wondered if it is only for rich people or for anyone. So here are my beginner questions. Is it very expensive for a small car, or is the extra fee small? Do they have a minimum amount, and would a student like me even qualify? Is it okay to ask for a small amount, like fifty dirhams, just to get through the week? Also, is it bad for the engine to run very low on fuel? My uncle says it can damage the pump, and my friend says that is a myth. Who is right? How low is too low? And is it true that keeping the tank at least a quarter full is better for the car in hot weather? Another thing, how far can a Yaris go once the light comes on? I have seen different numbers online, from thirty to eighty kilometres, and I do not know what to trust. Please tell me what habits helped you, and if you ever used a delivery service, was it worth it? Easy answers are best. Thanks a lot.
