Some popular car models can make it between 30 and 50 miles after the fuel light goes on, according to a study by Pick Analysis. The average Chevrolet Silverado will continue for about 33 miles beyond empty. Smaller cars like the Volkswagen Jetta average about 43 miles and the Toyota Corolla tops the list at 47 miles.
So if you are in an emergency situation, you should be able to make it to the next gas station if itâs a reasonable distance away. Generally, most vehicles can travel at least 30 miles after the fuel light comes on, and some can go much further. Remember, this is just an estimate, but it does show that you will usually have the fuel to get to the next gas station on your route.
