Gas on empty.
How far can you drive a car after the empty light comes on? I have a rental car that I am not suppose to refule. I have 1/8 of a tank and have 40+ miles to go today.

Want to answer more questions in the Technology category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Cars?
On most cars, one can go an average of 30 more miles when the "low gas" light comes on. If there is an owners manual in the glove compartment or console of the car, you can find more accurate information about this.
Thanks,

Depending on what kind of gas mileage you get, you can usually get about 30 miles when your gas light comes on... You might want to call the rental company and explain your situation. It might be best just to buy maybe a half tank of gas just so you don't get stranded somewhere.

to be on the safe side i think you should refurle only 5-10 dollars i mean you dont want the car to stop while your driving do you??

It should be able to make it. Assuming 1/8 is 4 gallons, that means you need a car that gets 10 miles/gallon. 2 gallons, it is 20 miles a gallon. Easy rates. You'll barely make it, but will make it.

your better off refuling it , your supposed to return it with the same amount of gas that they gave it to you which is usually 3/4 a tank . if theres extra they refund you .

Do what Pinky said, and put 5-10 bucks of gas in the car. You don't want to run out of gas on the way to where you're going.

The light means you only have one gallon worth of gas left. So, depending on how many miles to the gallon you get, that will let you know how far you can go.
Even though they said NOT to refule, put about 5-10 dollars worth of gas in the car. That should be enough to get you where you're going.

well it all depends on the car. but what the rental car really means is that you aren't supposed to fill the tank before you take it back to them. Generally this is because they have their own holding tanks and it's cheaper for them to use their own gasoline and you're already being charged for the refueling in you're rental fee.
so in all seriousness, refuel otherwise you'll be screwed. they just say that so you don't get charged for gas twice technically.
