Driving home from the mall today I realized that I was really low on gas and the next gas station was still a couple miles down the road. So I got a bit nervous since I have run out of gas within sight of a filling station before.
If I owned a Prius and I ran down the tank would the car still run on the battery? I concede that it might not go very fast, but in those rare instances when I run out, would the battery provide me with enough to get to the filling station? How far would it theoretically take me?
I’m not sure I know what that entails though. Sounds to me like you run out of gas, the light comes on and you simply keep driving a few more hundred feet to reach the gas station and you damage your car. :dubious:
