There can't be a set distance you have left, there can only be a set amount of fuel.

If its a set amount of fuel and you drive from then onwards with your foot on the floor doing 100mph it'll be less than if you were tootling about.
A total guess would be a gallon left but that is 100% guesswork.

yeah i know but if ure going down the motorway and your light comes on you will get more miles than if you had just pulled out your drive and pissed about the town stopping and starting

I remember seeing somewhere that it was pretty much a gallon so you're correct.

It's generally a tenth of the tank, isn't it?
So it'd be around gallon in a Corsa.
Either way, it can't be equated to a guaranteed distance.
