theres about 1 gallon left when the light comes on so however many miles you get to the gallon is how far you could go... in theory. it will probably be about 25-30 miles

Its bad for your engine to let it run down to the red line all the time

well i got 30miles out of the red light in my 1.6. I was literally running on fumes when i filled it up. Got about 44 litres in it when filled up, so it must have been pretty damn low.

If u run out thats another story.

beacuse all the shit is at the bottom of the tank

I ran out of petrol a few times in my nova, once engine cut out just as I was turning in to station and managed to roll to the pump.
now in corsa I fill up before red light
