The distance that can be traveled on the highway after the fuel light comes on and before the car runs out of gasoline is 96 miles.
Given that a 2020 Toyota Prius hybrid vehicle gets about 48 miles per gallon while driving on the highway, and the tank holds 11.3 gallons of fuel, and typically the low fuel warning light comes on when approximately two gallons of fuel remain in the tank, to find the distance that can be traveled on the highway after the fuel light comes on and before the car runs out of gasoline the following calculation should be performed:
1 = 48
2 = 48 x 2
2 = 96
Therefore, the distance that can be traveled on the highway after the fuel light comes on and before the car runs out of gasoline is 96 miles.
