Well normally when the gauge goes to empty, the car is out of gas. Check the fuel sending unit in the gas tank, that usually is in charge of both the gauge and sending fuel to the engine. It could also be : clogged fuel line, bad fuel pump, clogged filter, leaking gas tank/ filler neck, cracked/leaking fuel line
