between 20 - 60 miles. This is always a bit unknown. It also depends how you drive!

Get a petrol container and set out on the road... (actually I think you are not supposed to keep petrol in these so you would have to add it to your tank once you were finished playing).
 
Impossible to say as even different ones of the same car will do different miles as the fuel gauges are not that accurate. You driving style and the roads used will also affect it.
Remember this -
1 Anything over 20 miles and you could well run out
2 The only way to find out for sure is to run out!
3 In the bottom of the fuel tank there will be small particles of stuff that can block fuel lines and cost more than the petrol you will have to buy anyway
4. You gain nothing by running the tank almost dry - it does not magically make the car do more miles per gallon
5 Unless you are about to sell the car then you are going to have to buy the fuel sometime so why risk the cost and inconvenience of running out?
