Urgent HELP *Please* :: How much gas left in my tank?!?!

I live in Saskatchewan and couldn't get gas on my way to job site. The needle is now on 'E' and it's -33C here. It's a 1990 Civic, Sedan, Automatic, total tank capacity is 11.9 gallon.
Please help me figure out if I'll be needing to ask for emergency roadside on my way home (78 km).
Thanks
Matt

You give me hope!! But any idea how much fuel it takes in your car for 50 miles? Distance depends on fuel efficiency of the car and differs from one car to another. I know my car's fuel efficiency so if I know how much fuel is there (in liters) I'll calculate how far that's going to take me.
Thanks in advance from the Land of Snow!!

Re: Urgent HELP *Please* :: How much gas left in my tank?!?!

it also depends on the car how much reserve capacity you have. sometimes when the gas light comes on, i have 8 liters. but other times only 4. so i would say just pick 4 liters as a low point and calculate from there based on your kpg. to get the most distance, drive no faster than 90 kph and feather the gas pedal as much as possible.
