How far can a Mazda 3 go on empty?
I recently bought my son a used Mazda 3 for his birthday. He’s generally pretty responsible, but has a bad habit of forgetting to fill his gas tank, and I’m worried he’s going to get himself stranded somewhere. How far can a Mazda 3 go on empty?

Luckily for your son, most cars can run for 30 to 100 miles after their gas gauge reads empty. Of course, you should always fill your gas tank as soon as possible—but in general, you have plenty of time to drive to a gas station once you notice your fuel gauge is low.
If your son’s
Mazda 3
is a newer model, the digital fuel gauge on the dashboard can tell him exactly how many miles the car can drive before running out of gas—but if he’s driving an older model, the mileage can vary depending on the car’s condition and his driving habits. For instance, aggressive driving consumes fuel faster than careful driving, and a car with mechanical issues might run out of gas faster than a car that’s in good condition.If you want to lower your
