• https://www.lewrockwell.comNearly a million motorists a year break down because they have run out of fuel.
However, researchers have found that the distance you can run on fumes greatly depends on the type of car you are driving.
A new report suggests that if you usually forget to fill up your tank, you might want to drive a Nissan Altima- it can travel another 81 to 114 miles after the low fuel light turns on.
The new report was put together by the automotive company Your Mechanic who found each car make can run a different amount of miles on empty.
When the low flue fuel light turns on, the Nissan Altima still has three gallons of gas inside, allowing drivers to travel another 81 to 114 miles before the tank is dry.
The next make and model that can travel a good distance on low-fuel is the Chrysler 200, which also has three gallons left after the warning light turns on – it can drive another 68 to 108 miles.
However, those who own a Chevrolet Silverado may not want to pass on the next gas station they see after the low fuel light turns on – you will only be able to drive another 25 miles before breaking down.
