How many miles can the car go after the gas light is on?

About one gallon. The warning light for low gas is not just being helpful to not run out of gas. It is to protect the catalytic converter. When the engine runs out of gas it will misfire and raw gas will go into the converter. when the engine fires again the raw gas in the converter will burn and overheat the converter and ruin it. never let the car run out of gas.
