Hey everyone, I have a 2006 manual Mitsubishi Lancer. The fuel gauge needle is below the red line, but the fuel warning light isn't on. Is it normal for this car not to light up? Also, is there a nationwide car owners group?

I have a 2006 Accent, and the current issue is that it won't start. The engine cranks normally when trying to start, and there are no warning lights. However, it can be started by pushing. I've checked the wiring, fuel line, and starter, and everything seems fine. The mechanic here replaced the spark plugs and fuel pump assembly, but it still won't start! Can any expert advise me on this? 🙏
Where does the temperature gauge on your Sportage point to? Mine is always about one notch below the middle. Also, for the manual transmission, the fuel consumption is 11 liters. How about yours?
Why can I only refuel about 40 liters each time when the fuel gauge light is on?

5Hey fellow car enthusiasts, my Lancer's fuel gauge is below the red line, but the fuel light isn't on. I can only fill up 37 liters, but isn't this supposed to be a 50-liter tank? Has anyone tested this?
6I just bought a car and feel like I really can't drive it [facepalm]. I accidentally rev it too high. How many RPMs do you usually shift at? Before looking at the owner's manual, I was shifting at around 5000 RPM. Now my display shows an average fuel consumption of 10.4, and after driving just over 200 kilometers, the fuel tank is empty. My goodness 🤦, I'm refilling the tank once a week now. So should I shift when the dashboard suggests an upshift? Can I just shift from fourth or fifth gear to neutral when stopping at a red light, or is it better to downshift to third gear before going to neutral?
7My relative gave me a 2006 Peugeot automatic 1.6L 307. A few days ago, it was running low on fuel (almost to the red line), and the range showed there were 60km left. Suddenly, it made a "ka" sound and everything stopped, showing something about "gearbox." After turning it off and restarting, it was fine, and adding fuel prevented the issue from happening again. Should I get it checked? The mileage was over 60,000 when I got it, and now it's at 88,000. Seeking advice from the forum experts.
8Help Needed: 2011 Nissan Sunny Low-End to High-End Instrument Panel Upgrade Issue At first: As shown in the picture, I bought a 2012 luxury version of the Sunny instrument panel. I removed the wires from the low-end panel and connected them according to the high-end socket order. Because I enlarged the wire holes when removing them, it led to poor contact. Initially, everything was normal except the fuel gauge didn't display. Could it be due to poor contact? Then, I reconnected the original low-end instrument panel, which led to the time, trip mileage, and fuel consumption resetting every time I started the car. Finally, I got another high-end socket. This time, I arranged the wire order for the high-end socket first, then connected wires from the low-end socket to the high-end socket (this method avoids enlarging the socket and causing poor contact). Now I'm stuck with the following issues: 1. The engine light is on. 2. The turn signal, headlight, and fog light indicators on the instrument panel don't light up, and there's no ticking sound when using the turn signal. 3. Each time I start the car, the time, average fuel consumption, and trip mileage reset. 4. After turning off the car, the tachometer stays at 1, then drops to 0 and returns to 1 when the car is started again, which seems normal. Everything else seems normal. Could fellow forum members help analyze what the problem might be? I'm almost crying.
9I didn't drive for two days, and when I started the car today, I noticed the engine warning light was on. For the first ten minutes or so, pressing the accelerator only increased the RPM, and the speed stayed below 20. After driving for about ten minutes, when I pressed the accelerator, there was a humming noise, and the speed gradually picked up. However, the fuel consumption display kept changing even when the car was parked or just started and not moving (or maybe I hadn't noticed this before). Can anyone advise what's going on? Has anyone experienced this before?
