Here's how far you can drive on a an "Empty" gas tank:  First, you should never drive your vehicle when the gas gauge is on empty . . . it can burn up your fuel pump which can lead to a $400+ repair!  But it's still nice to know how far you can go when the empty light comes on.  You might not know it, but most automobile manufacturers build in about a gallon of reserve fuel that you can't see on the gas gauge, past the empty line.  Some cars can go for days on ’empty’.  Wanna see how far your car can go?
