How far can you go once low fuel light comes on?

On average, my '03 GT has about 2 gallons left when the idiot light comes on. Sometimes comes on a little sooner, maybe when there's 2.5 gallons left...but typically for me, 2 gallons.

When the light comes on and I fill up, it usually takes 13.5-13.7 gallons under "normal" circumstances. If I've done more city driving/short trips than usual, then it might pop on at 13 gallons down.

The most I've let it run down to was 1.2 gallons...had to put 14.5 in.
 
LOL I have pushed mine too about 40 miles still have not ran out ROFL
I guess I don't mind walking, good exercise.
And oddly enough out of all my cars I have never had a fuel pump fail except in the one car I always kept a lot of gas in...sooo yeah.
 
Interesting, never thought of anything like that with my BAP but I guess it makes sense...I just go by how many miles I have and once it's at 200, give or take, I fill up or if I'm on my way to work (22 miles each way) it comes on I fill up...but if the light comes on and I'm on my way home I don't worry about it until the next time I drive.
