On empty: How many miles left
Usually, there's a 3-5 gallon buffer once the low fuel light comes on. I wouldn't recommend running empty if you can avoid it, this may cause damage to the fuel pump in the long run.
My light came on and I had about a 35 mile stretch to a gas station. (I was sweating bullets, to be honest) Anyway, when I filled up I had exactly 2 gallons left. (I was averageing 16.2 mpg on that trip. So I'm guessing around 4 gallons.
My low fuel light came on towing my 25' camper and it started trying to quit 35 miles later at 60MPH (11.5 MPG). It started spitting on an upgrade and I had to sway back and forth to keep it running until it reached the top of the hill. It ran OK on the level to a gas station 2 miles farther. It held 26.2 gallons in my 26 gallon tank. I only tried it because I had a motorcycle in the bed with gas in it and a hose in my camper.

I have the 35.7 gal tank. If the light comes on and you reset it, it will come back on in 10 miles. I have had my light come on, and reset it three times before I hit the gas station. I filled it up and put 34.? gallons in it. I know for sure, running at 70 mph when it comes on the first time, I have at least 30 miles to go and still be safe.

Mine says "50 miles to empty" when light 1st comes on. It is right on the money every time.
