Depends on the mileage you get /driving style.

I filled up my car on Monday and as I pulled into the the fuel station the gas light came on, it took 17.9 gallons to fill the tank and the tank holds 20.6 gallons. That leaves 2.7 gallons in the tank, my car is currently stock, I drive it pretty conservatively and almost all of my driving occurs on the highway. I have an average fuel economy per tank of 23.8mpg. So at that average mpg I had 64.26 miles left in the tank before I needed to start walking.

Converting that to km is 103.416 km to empty. Now no fuel pickup is going to get every last drop and since I haven't carved up a SC fuel tank to see how low the pickup goes I can't give you a quote on how much of the 20.6 gallons you can actually get.

It is still best not to run it that low and I usually fill up much earlier, just got busy and let it slip my mind for an extra day or two.
