Default how long can you drive after your gas light goes on?

im new to the site so pardon if this has already been discussed, but does anyone know how many miles you can drive after your gas light goes on. i drive a 93 camry sedan 4 cyl and since the gas gauge always moves when i drive up hills, i never can tell when it really is time to fill up

I checked this out on my Camry. The fuel tank holds 18.5 gallons, I waited to refuel until the low fuel warning light(yellow) came on then filled the tank with gas. It took 16.5 gallon of fuel to fill the tank,so that means there are about 2 gallons of fuel remaining in the tank of my car when the warning light starts to light up. For my car that is a range of about 48 miles of average driving.

You can still drive it for about 50km or less. U think that is enough distance to find the nearest gas station
