I can't answer this positively, but on average there is 25 miles left to empty when a gas light comes on.

Yes, but if it stays on you should plan to take it in soon to have the engine checked. That is why the light is there.
have vehicle scanned to determine problem
On a 2002 Mercury Mountaineer : The " check gage " light comes on if the engine coolant temperature is too high , the engine oil pressure is too low , or the gas gauge is at or near empty
You can go as far as your legs will carry you. I do like the legs answer, but thought this may help. First, you need to know a couple things about your vehicle. How far a single gallon of gas will take you and how many gallons you have left in your tank when the fuel light comes on. As soon as you can the next time the fuel light comes on, take out a loan and fill your tank. Note how many gallons of gas it took to fill it. Subtract that number of gallons from the total gallons your tank holds. That number will be how many gallons you have remaining when your fuel light comes on. If you know how many miles your truck will go on a gallon of gas, multiply your mileage by the number of gallons you have remaining when the fuel light comes on to get an idea how far you can continue before the engine dies of thirst. Example: Car "A" gets 30mpg. Fuel light comes on when I have 4 gallons of gas remaining in tank. 30mpg x 4 gallons =120 miles.
The check engine light comes on and stays on when a problem is detected by the self diagnosis system of your vehicle. Generally, a check engine light is lit when there is a problem in the emissions or somthing that is affecting the effectiveness of the emissions. If the check engine light is flashing a misfire has been detected

If the 1993 Mercury Villager runs rough when the check engine light comes on and the code reader says 34 and 51, there is a problem with an oxygen sensor and the MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensor. Both parts together will cost around $200.
On a 1997 Mercury Mountaineer : The " CHECK ENGINE " warning light is just to the left of the battery voltage gauge
I have a 98 mystique, and when the check engine light comes on, I simply disconnect the positive battery terminal for a couple of minutes. When I replace it, the check engine light is cleared. It resets the computer.
Around 3 gallons.
