If I drive it until the fuel light's been on a couple of days: 405 miles, but I know that because I generally drive it pretty empty before I tank it up again.
It holds 55 liters (whatever that is in the gallon type you use.), but the number above is based on how far I drive between fill ups, and I generally fill between 40 and 45 liters (usually around 40l).
That's varied driving, with pretty intense use of the right foot.
Costs me about $80 to fill her up, so be happy you got it cheap over there, hehe.
My favorite is the 1600 cc Kawii Nomad which riding 2 up gets me 40/44 Mpg's. The rest is big V-8s in trucks and vans pretty much, other than the cage volvo which gets apx 26/ 28 because the turbo is fun...

In city driving my Santa Fe will go about 300 miles on a tank before the light comes on. That's an average of 18 mpg with a 19 gallon tank. On the highway it will go roughly 400 miles before the light comes on but I rarely let it get that low under any circumstances.
My car has a ~10 gallon tank, and I usually fill up at around 200 miles or so, which is usually between 5.5 and 6.5 gallons of fuel. It generally gets 30-34mpg. The highest I've gotten is 36mpg, and the lowest was in the high 20s. 1989 Civic Wagovan.
I've eeked out 570 miles from the 19-gallon tank on my Saab during a long highway stint -- enough to get me from Chicago to Mississippi without stopping to refuel. Great interstate cruiser, that car. One of the things that irritates me about my Jetta is its dinky 14-gallon tank.
1995-1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse/Eagle Talon with a stick shift and a tune up will easily do 500 miles on a tank of fuel.
Tanks are 16.9 gallons.
Prior to selling mine (for an AWD car that barely does 300 miles on a tank - sigh), I would fill up in Irvine, California on a Sunday morning, do 80-90mph across the desert with the AC on back to Phoenix, and then drive it to work and back a couple times on a single tank.
Excellent commuters, those. Inexpensive too, these days. Wish I had room for another project...
To paraphrase Ron White, all the way till it runs out of gas
