Lowest km before empty

I think it's actually 8 litres but I've used much more than 8 and it's still got heaps to go.

I have been down to 0.

at 0km, tank has ~7 litres left of petrol

I have had mine down to 0 before, still had a few litres left when finally got to the servo.
I had a Vt Berlina about 5 years ago and did around 40 km with it showing 0 to go, it wasn't a very pleasant trip wondering if I will make it or not.

My brother had a VX once that hit 0 that was it he ran out.
I think it varies between cars and obviously how you drive.

When I was at 20km, the fuel needle still havent touch the bottom yet....

In Topgear season 4, clarkson took the Audi twin turbo disel down to 0, with the needle touching the bottom but it still went for about 7 miles.

the manual also states not to "top off" the tank and stop filling when u get to the first click...so that "it allows the fuel to expand with heat"...

that's something i did not know...i always top off the tank to the max! lol

Yep, if you top up you just loose it out of the overflow.
