How long can a Kia Soul run on empty?
I’m trying to make a huge road trip without wasting any money on extra gas. I know that most cars aren’t actually empty when they say empty, but I don’t know how much gas they still have. For how long can you usually drive in a Kia Soul when it’s on empty?

Kia Soul
, you can typically drive about 43 more miles when it says you’re out of gas.But keep in mind that driving while low on gas is bad for your car.

As a result, you could unintentionally cause your engine to start working ineffecieintly. To make sure your car stays in peak condition for as long as possible, it’s typically best to keep your tank at least partially full. But if you’re strapped for cash and don’t want to put down any extra money on gas, try offsetting the cost by saving on car insurance with
