V6 manual. Just over 30 miles but I had no choice. I'd like to run it dry with a Jerry can in the back but there's no way that can be good for an engine.

I try not to go over 35 miles with the gas light on, especially on highways with no near exit in sight ( I start to sweat, anxiety coming). Its not good for your health I think.

The light comes on before burning 14 gallons, and it's supposed to be a 17 gallon tank, so 50 miles should be easy on the highway. I get at least 25mpg, on the highway, in a V6, so that would be 75 miles worth of gas left. I do 30-40 miles after the light comes on all the time, and that's around town. It's harder to do that, when you don't know how far the next station is though. I will usually fill up right after the light comes on, but the wife tends to wait longer, so I will fill it up for her.

Another one of these threads...

When my gas light comes on and I fill it up I typically put in 14 gallons to fill it up. Since the tank is 17.1 gallons that means I could have driven for 60 more miles conservatively estimating at 20mpg. So not too crazy.

I have a thread in this forum about this but I can't link it from my phone.

My fuel light came on at 430 miles I drove another 120 miles before it was completely empty and died at the pump as I was pulling in to get gas. That was on a road trip from Tennessee to Missouri last month.

I have the 4 cylinder 2.4 dohc with a 5 speed manual.

If I were to run out of gas, I wonder if it would actually take 17.1 gallons to fill it back up? I'm temped to put a small can of gas in the trunk and find out. I'm just affraid I would run out, at the worst possible time, and it would take a while to get it re-started.

Probably not the best idea as any residue floating in your tank would end up in your fuel lines. Just look in the manual it says 17.1 gallons

You turn the key a few times to II and back to I, to let the fuel pump flood the tubes, before you attempt to start the engine. Once that I had to empty my tank, it took 4 pumps to get her going.

My Navi says I have about 50 miles to go when gas light goes on.

How far can a Honda go with gas light?

How Far Can Your Honda Drive with the Low Fuel Light On? The low gas light indicates that you have 10 to 15 percent of your fuel left. Generally, your fuel level is one to two gallons. In a fuel efficient vehicle, you probably have between 30 and 50 miles before you run out of fuel.

How many miles left when gas light comes on Honda Accord 2012?

The light comes on at 2.6 gallons with the Honda Accord as well, but you can get 70 to 93 miles.
