According to the chart, you can expect to get anywhere from 30 miles to more than 100 miles on a nearly empty tank, depending on the car. Of course, the real-life numbers will vary based on how you drive, your car’s condition, and other variables, so Your Mechanic emphasizes they’re all just rough approximations.

A Honda Civic can get an extra 44 miles on empty while a Toyota Corolla gets an average of 47 miles on empty.

Usually listed near the size of the gas tank is specifications for reserve fuel. In most vehicles, when the fuel level reaches the reserve fuel level, the gas warning light pops up. There’s no standard for how big the fuel tank reserve is, but most of the time it’s about 10-15 percent of the overall size of the tank.

Cars without the ‘distance to empty’ gauge will still have a low fuel warning light (and sometimes a sound, too). According to www.yourmechanic.com, depending on your make of car, you can drive an extra 48km to 183km after the warning light comes on.

According to this infographic by Pick Analysis, some popular car models can travel for 30 to 50 miles after the gas light goes on. The average Chevrolet Silverado will continue for 33 miles beyond “empty.” Volkswagen Jettas average more than 43 miles, and the Toyota Corolla tops the list at 47 miles.

If the car/truck is rated then 22 then 22 is good. If it is rated 30 and your only getting 22 then there might be a problem. Depends on your vehicle. For a 2019 Mazda Miata roadster, 22 mpg would be poor.

You need to consider your needs, and consider your budget. But with all that being said, a good MPG figure to aim for is anything between 50 and 60MPG. This will ensure that your car is efficient and economical, which means low running costs and car tax rates.
