In case you aren't aware, I have read that driving low on fuel will add stress and may do damage to the electric fuel pump. I think these fuel pumps are actually cooled and lubricated by the fuel and without it they will wear out. But I can understand your curiosity as I have practiced this myself on the odd occasion, but I haven't driven to the point where my Distance to Empty computer displays 0kms.
